Technologists Technicians

Individuals employed in industries that use or make benzene or products containing benzene may be exposed to the highest concentrations of benzene. The National Occupational Exposure Survey (NOES), conducted by NIOSH from 1981 to 1983, estimated that approximately 272,300 workers employed in various professions were potentially exposed to benzene in the United States. Approximately half of these workers were employed in general medical and surgical hospitals, and their occupations included nurses and aides, physicians, technicians, technologists, therapists, dieticians, pharmacists, and janitors (NIOSH 1989). The NOES database does not contain information on the frequency, concentration, or duration of exposure the survey provides only estimates of workers potentially exposed to chemicals in the workplace. The current OSHA permissible limit for an 8-hour TWA exposure to benzene is 1 ppm and a... 

The Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) is recognized as the leader in high-quality credentialing for safety, health and environmental practitioners. BCSP establishes standards for and verifies competency in professional safety practice and evaluates certificants for compliance with recertification requirements. BCSP also operates technician, technologist and supervisoty SH E certifications that provide additional career paths for safety pracffoneis. Since 1969, over 30,000 individuals have achieved the CSR OHST, CLCS, CHST, or STS credential. Board of Certified Safety Professionals, www.bcsp.org, 217-359-9263 Circle 299... 

Occupational exposure to 1,3-DNB and 1,3,5-TNB can occur when workers handle the compounds in explosives plants and other industries, such as dyestuffs, plastics, and rubber, that use these compounds during manufacturing processes. The National Occupational Exposure Survey (NOES), conducted by NIOSH from 1981 to 1983, estimated that 2,489 workers were exposed to 1,3-DNB in 41 businesses and health services (NOES 1991). The workers included in this survey were chemists (except biochemists), geologists, clinical laboratory technologists and technicians, and health aides (except nursing).

Medical or clinical lab technicians work in large hospitals or independent labs. Under the direction of a technologist, they prepare specimens, conduct tests, and operate computerized analyzers. Technicians need to pay close attention to detail, have good judgement, and be skilled in using computers. 

According to the National Occupational Exposure Study (NOES) conducted by NIOSH from 1981 to 1983, the following estimated number of workers were potentially exposed to Aroclors in the workplace 2,214 to Aroclor 1242 3,702 to Aroclor 1254 991 to Aroclor 1260 and 1,558 to Aroclor 1016 (NIOSH 1989). Occupational exposure to Aroclors occurs in miscellaneous workers in the transformer industry, noncellulose fiber industry, semiconductor and related industries, and in sawmills and planing mills. It also occurs in clinical laboratory technicians and technologists of general medical and surgical hospitals. The NOES database does not contain information on the frequency, concentration, or duration of occupational exposure to any of the chemicals listed. The survey provides estimations of the numbers of workers for whom potential exposure in the worlq)lace is an issue. Since this study was conducted from 1981 to 1983, it does not accurately represent current worlq)lace exposure to PCBs. 

This book covers a wide spectrum of corrosion topics with rich illustrations, an easy to understand writing style, and the presentation of review articles, providing state-of-the-art corrosion-mitigation techniques useful for practicing engineers, technologists, and field technicians. It also provides a basic understanding of corrosion mechanisms, which will be equally beneficial to people who are not directly involved in the corrosion field to assist them in their related tasks. Based on its content and presentation of scientific and technical issues, this... 

Robots do jobs that are dirty, repetitive, or dangerous for people. It is true that robots replaced some human in these less desirable jobs. However, many new jobs were also created. Robots need to be manufactured, programmed, and serviced. Entire new businesses were developed to support automated manufacturing. There is a growing need for engineering technologists and skilled technicians to program and service industrial robots. 

All of the aforementioned are accompanied and supported by extensive relevant data, occasionally via a specific representative case study the derived conclusions of which are transferable. Also, this resource contains several cited works, and is thus aimed to serve as a practical reference concerning the application aspect of surfactant-detergent formulations for engineers, technologists, scientists, technicians, regulators, and policymakers associated with the detergent industry. 

Careers in cryogenics are as diverse as the applications of cryogenics. Interested persons can enter the profession in various ways, depending on their field of interest. Some secure jobs through additional education, while others learn on the job. In general, the jobs include engineers, technologists or technicians, and researchers. 

Medical laboratory technicians may perform moderately complex testing under the direction of a medical technologist. This position requires a two-year degree and a license in the field. 

Veterinary science is a medical science dealing with the study, research, prevention, and treatment of disease in animals and the relation of animal disease to human health. It deals with the health of individual animals and groups of animals. Veterinary scientists include veterinarians who treat animal patients, research veterinary scientists who work in academic and private research laboratories, and technicians and technologists who assist veterinarians and veterinarian scientists. Veterinarians provide health care to companion animals and livestock. They play an important role in maintaining a wholesome food supply. Veterinary scientists involved in research are instrumental in the development of medicine, treatments, and surgical procedures applicable to both humans and animals. 

Other careers in veterinary science requiring less study and training are those of veterinary technician (two-year program) or technologist (four-year program). Veterinary technicians and technologists work in clinics and in research facilities. They assist veterinarians with animals in the examination room and in the surgical room and are responsible for the daily care of hospitalized and laboratory animals. They also perform laboratory procedures, keep records, and assist with client education. 

The CMBES Clinical Engineering Standards of Practice was published in 1998. These guidelines outline criteria for health care institutions on the management of medical devices, promote the professional development of its members, and outline the education and certification requirements for clinical engineers and biomedical engineering technologists and technicians. 

Bies, J. D. 1986. Mathematics for Mechanical Technicians and Technologists Principles, Formulas, Problem Solving. New York Macmillan. Audel was a publisher of practical books for the technician. This one retains the series title, an Audel book, since it is a useful, practical guide for technical personnel. It contains the mathmatical formulas for solving everyday problans, from cams and gears to economics in machining, and includes answers to the exercises.
