The majority of healthy volunteer studies are conducted by contract research organisations (CROs), which recruit subjects from the general public by advertising and word of mouth. The composition of the volunteer database depends to some extent on the location, some being comprised mainly of students or the local residential population, others, particularly in large cities, having a preponderance of backpackers and temporary workers. The source of volunteers does have implications for safety, motivation and withdrawal rates. The more itinerant volunteers may not be available for follow-up and little may be known about their medical background. While the professional volunteer is wholly inappropriate, a stable population of volunteers who understand what is involved...

To maintain a flow of workers into the system, you must have prospects, good economic prospects, for workers at the other end. Would you care to comment on your model for research in which 80 percent of the research conducted at a university has some connection to industry Are there going to be positions available for the people doing the work as temporary researchers, and can we keep the process going ...

In addition to the above blood lead level criterion, temporary worker removal may also take place as a result of medical determinations and recommendations. Written medical opinions must be prepared after each examination pursuant to the standard. If the examining physician includes a medical finding, determination or opinion that the employee has a medical condition which places the employee at increased risk of material health impairment from exposure to lead, then the employee must be removed from exposure to lead at or above 30 [ig/m.
