Thank you for your consideration of this matter. However, we are looking for alternate cost effective solutions to an increasing asbestos workload and/or peak demands. We also have scheduled another technician to take the NIOSH 582 course in December of this year. During normal load periods our NIOSH trained technician will prepare and read his own slides. We believe it to be an efficient and cost effective alternative to meeting temporary increases in our asbestos workload. Since the purpose of our monitoring and analyses is for OSHA compliance, we are requesting guidance covering our scheme for preparing and reading the air filters. This technician, while a qualified laboratory technician for other analyses, will not have taken the NIOSH 582 course and therefore will not perform the actual counting. Our intention, at the present time, is to train a technician in house solely to prepare slides. To facilitate the asbestos analyses in our laboratory we are considering having one of our laboratory technicians prepare asbestos slides for fiber counting. Robin Knappe of my staff on October 17, 1990. This is in reference to your telephone conversation with Ms.

Should you have any further questions, they will be handled much more expeditiously. It is required that the people reading the slides be 582 trained. This is not strictly required, so long as the proper preparation procedures are followed. You asked if a person preparing slides for asbestos analysis need be 582 trained.

Modifiable workplace factors should be considered in HRI prevention efforts that are evaluated using objective measures in representative working populations.ДЄgricultural workers crop workers farmworkers heat-related illness risk factors.My apologies for the long response time for your letter of November 7, 1990. In this descriptive study of risk factors for HRI symptoms in Washington crop workers, decreased age (and less work experience), piece rate pay, and longer distance to the toilet were associated with self-reported HRI symptoms.

PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATIONS: Registered Geologist, State of Oregon, G1959 Professional Geologist, State of Washington, 2267. Piece rate compared with hourly payment (OR = 6.20 95% CI = 1.11-34.54) and needing to walk for more than 3 minutes to get to the toilet, compared with less than 3 minutes (OR = 4.86 95% CI = 1.18-20.06), were associated with a higher odds of HRI symptoms. Geology (Environmental) CENTRAL MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY B.S. An increase in age was associated with a lower odds of HRI symptoms (odds ratio = 0.92 95% confidence interval = 0.87-0.98). Mixed-effects logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for self-reported symptoms associated with heat strain and HRI (dizziness/light-headedness or heavy sweating) experienced at work in hot conditions. Potential HRI risk factors in demographic, training, work, hydration, clothing, health, and environmental domains were selected a priori for evaluation. A cross-sectional A-CASI survey of 97 crop workers in Washington State was conducted during the summer of 2013. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for HRI symptoms in Washington crop workers using an audio computer-assisted self-interview (A-CASI) instrument that has undergone reliability and validity evaluation. Crop workers are at high risk of heat-related illness (HRI) from internal heat generated by heavy physical work, particularly when laboring in hot and humid conditions.
