  • Description:
    This database was developed to provide researchers and other interested stakeholders with lead measurement results that the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has collected during health hazard evaluation (HHE) surveys from 1991 through 2015. HHEs are requested by employees or their representatives, or employers, to help learn whether health hazards are present at their workplace. The scope of HHEs varies based on the requestors' concerns and the NIOSH project officers' professional judgment. Only lead measurement results are included in this database; however, many HHEs evaluating lead exposures also look at other exposures. Individual HHE reports are published on the NIOSH website at www.cdc.gov/niosh/hhe/. When available, this database provides a direct link to the HHE report for each of the evaluations whose measurement results are included in this database. The database contains workplace lead measurement results from over 70 HHE reports, including over 1,200 personal lead exposure measurements and 1,900 area lead measurements. It also includes the following information: U.S. state or territory; Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) region; National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) sector; North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code; facility description; lead-generating activities; job title; type (full-shift, partial-shift, or task-based) and duration of lead measurement; lead concentrations from personal breathing zone air sampling; lead concentrations from surface wipe and surface pad samples; type of respirator and if employees used them or not; 8 hour time-weighted average concentration and 10 hour time-weighted average concentration; lead concentration per grams of material; weight of lead per total sample; respiratory protection program; lead surveillance program; and more. This database is an ongoing project and will be updated periodically to add the most recent HHE lead measurement data. [Description provided by NIOSH]
