• Description:
  NIOSH researchers have developed a powerful new technique that combines two separate tools for analyzing occupational hazards: videotaping and "real-time" continuous exposure monitoring. The level of hazard exposure can then be superimposed onto the videotape in the form of a moving bar. This permits a simultaneous inspection of individual tasks that are performed during a workday and of the exposures associated with each task. The result is a much clearer understanding of the sources of exposures and the ability to formulate a much more specific intervention strategy. This technique applies to chemical, physical, ergonomic, and any other hazards for which the level of hazard can be continuously monitored. A videotape of industrial processes demonstrating this technique will be available.
