Description:The HHE Program evaluated employee concerns about exposures and health problems at a tire manufacturing plant. After evaluating the ventilation system, investigators determined that the general and local exhaust systems were operating properly. The company's comprehensive database tracked exposures to chemicals and monitored the effectiveness of exposure controls. HHE Program investigators recommended that the employer explain exposure measurement results and how the ventilation system works to employees in plain language. Regular summary reports of employees' health and safety concerns should be prepared and shared with employees
these reports should also explain how each concern was addressed. A point of contact should be designated to address employees' questions about material safety data sheets. Investigators recommended that employees report symptoms that may be work-related to their supervisor so that issues can be addressed.
