Abstract

Occupational exposure databases are being used increasingly to characterize worker exposures in industries involving a variety of exposure scenarios. The glass and rock/slag segments of the synthetic vitreous fiber industry (in the United States) has developed a large (>14,000 samples) exposure database that can be used to estimate worker exposures based on industry sector, fiber type, product type, and job function. This article describes the development of this database as part of an industry-Occupational Safety and Health Administration collaborative Health and Safety Partnership Program and summarizes the findings and potential applications of the database.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Authors Marchant and Connelly received funding from the North American Insulation Manufacturers Association (NAIMA) to manage the occupational exposure database described herein and to assist in the preparation of this manuscript.
