Description:Health Hazard Evaluation Interim Report 2, July 12, 2010
Interim report reissued December 2012: front and back covers, lead and contributing authors, and acknowledgments were added to the original interim report.
On May 28, 2010, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) received a request from BP for a health hazard evaluation (HHE). The request asked NIOSH to evaluate potential exposures and health effects among workers involved in Deepwater Horizon Response activities. NIOSH sent an initial team of HHE investigators on June 2, 2010, to begin the assessment of off-shore activities. To date, 26 HHE investigators have been on-scene; the investigation is continuing with efforts to assess on-shore response activities.
This letter is the second in a series of interim reports. As this information is cleared for posting, we will make it available on the NIOSH website (www.cdc.gov/niosh/hhe). When all field activity and data analyses are complete we will compile the interim reports into a final report.
This report (Interim Report #2) includes several discrete components of our investigation. For each, we provide background, describe our methods, report the findings, and provide conclusions and, where appropriate, interim recommendations. The components included in this report are as follows:
• 2A – Venice, Louisiana On-shore Infirmary Log Review
• 2B – Evaluation of June 8–10, 2010 In-situ Oil Burns
• 2C – Evaluation of June 25, 2010, Barge Oil Vacuuming Operations in Coup Abel Pass, off Grand Isle, Louisiana
