Occupational health provider

Medical Surveillance (4) Occupational health providers available on-site and involved in hazard identification and training. (3) Occupational health providers there as needed and are generally involved in assessment/training. (2) Occupational health providers consulted about significant health concerns. (1) Occupational health providers are available but normally concentrate on clinical issues. (0) Occupational health provider assistance is rarely requested or provided. 

When a personal sample is taken, a written copy of the sample results should be included in the person s medical file. This strategy allows review by the physician or occupational health nurse. This allows the occupational health provider to have a greater awareness of types of chemicals and physical agents the employee works with and their exposure levels.

Occupational health provider. The treating physician is, of course, primarily responsible for applying the most appropriate clinical care to treat the injury or illness. However, the physician is often the key to minimizing the time away from work as well. Depending on local laws, employees may be able to see a physician of their choice. Regardless, a medical facility that understands occupational medicine should be available. Select a nearby occupational health facility so injured employees can receive quick attention. For traumatic or after-hours injuries, the local emergency room may be more appropriate.

The toxicology, occupational health hazards, and transportation regulations of cesium compounds result from the anion rather than the cesium cation. Producers and distributors provide an MSDS as well as detailed shipping requirements for each product. 

NIOSHTIC on compact disc from the Canadian Center for Occupational Health and Safety (ean buy at CCOHS web site). "NIOSHTIC(R) is a bibliographie database which provides comprehensive international coverage of documents on occupational health and safety, as well as related fields. It eontains detailed summaries of over 200,000 articles, reports and publications, spanning over 100 years. NIOSHTIC(R) sources include over 160 scientific and technical journals, NIOSH reports (published and unpublished), NIOSH research bibliographies, abstracts from CIS Abstracts, and personal files from respected professionals on selected topics. 

The CESARS database contains comprehensive environmental and health information on chemicals. It provides detailed descriptions of chemical toxicity to humans, mammals, aquatic and plant life, as well as data on physical chemical properties, and environmental fate and persistence. Each record consists of chemical identification information and provides descriptive data on up to 23 topic areas, ranging from chemical properties to toxicity to environmental transport and fate. Records are in English. Available online through CCINFOline from the Canadian Centre For Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) and Chemical Information System (CIS) on CD-ROM through CCIN-FOdisc.

Filter samples can be prepared to airborne workplace concentrations by spiking each filter with aqueous solution containing elements with concentrations gravimetrically traceable to ultrapure metals or stoidiiometricaUy well defined oxides. The amormts correspond for some of the materials to current threshold limit values of contaminants in workroom atmospheres provided that the simulated filter has been exposed to one cubic meter of air. The certified values are based on a gravimetric procedure, i.e. weight per volume composition of the primary reference material dissolved in high purity sub-dis-tiUed acids. The National Institute of Occupational Health in Oslo, Norway, has produced several batches of such materials certified for 20 elements. Additionally, information values are reported for four other elements see Table 6.2.
