Preliminary data from a second workplace survey, the 1980-1983 National Occupational Exposure Survey (NOES) conducted by NIOSH, indicated that 67,054 workers, including 15,763 women, in 3,123 plants were potentially exposed to silver in the workplace in 1980 (NIOSH 1984a). These estimates were derived from observations of the actual use of silver (67% of total estimate) and the use of trade name products known to contain the compound (33%). The largest number of workers were exposed in the primary metal industries, business services, health services, instruments and related products industries, and fabricated metal products industries.

In many industries, the provision of spare parts and associated services represents a significant component of supply chain profits. Some studies [23] estimate US sales of spare parts and after-sales services to be 8% of the annual gross domestic product (GDP) or 1 trillion. Others [28] surest, for example, that in 2001, General Motors earned relatively more profits from its 9 billion in after-sales revenues than it did from 150 billion in car sales. Another estimate [124] suggests that the total cost of ownership of a product may far exceed the amount spent on the initial product purchase and may vary between five and twenty times the original product cost. The main conclusion from these studies is that managing spare parts supply chains and related services after a product is sold may have a significant impact on both primary demand as well as on profits. 

In March 2006 a research team related to Safety First Industrial Safety Services analyzed 31 recommendations pertaining to evacuation, escape and rescue (EER) after the Ocean Ranger accident (Leafloor 2006). The scope of work focused primarily on a literature search for historical and current information regarding the implementation of research and development, regulatory change, policy/practice amendment and technological innovation in response to selected recommendations within the two reports published by the Royal Commission on the Ocean Ranger Marine Disaster (RCOMD) (Hickman 1984). 

Definitions of what constitutes a service have varied across the service sector. Clark (1940) divided all economies into three sectors primary (agricultural), secondary (manufacturing), and tertiary (services). The service sector used three parts—domestic related services (food and lodging), business services, and others (including recreation, health care, and education)— to focus on involvement and improvement of the customer relationship. The services industry provides services, not goods (Hughes, Mitchell, Ramson, 1993).
