Tracking progress

evaluating the effectiveness of controls is top priority in an incremental abatement process. Unless they follow up on their control efforts, employers will not know whether the hazards have been adequately controlled or whether the abatement process needs to continue. That is, if the job is not controlled, the problem solving is not complete. 

Second, the tracking of progress is also essential in cases where you need to prioritize the control of hazards. It tells you whether they are on schedule with their abat ent plans. 

tracking the progress of control efforts is a good way of determining whether the elanents of the program are functioning properly and quantifying their success. Some of the measures to use include 

Reductions in severity rates, especially at the very start of the program Reduction in incidence rates 

Reduction in total lost workdays and lost workdays per case

The second phase, becoming effective January 1, 2000, will require approximately 2000 utilities to reduce their emissions to a level equivalent to the product of an emissions rate of (1.2 lbs of S02/mm Btu) X (the average mm Btu of their 1985-1987 fuel use). In both phases, affected sources will be required to install systems that continuously monitor emissions in order to track progress and assure compliance. 

Measurement of sleepiness (via ESS) and RLS symptoms should be completed at each visit to track progress with therapy. 

Herbst et al.2 described automated high-throughput ADME/Tox profiling for optimization of preclinical candidates, a Profiling Toolkit enables researchers to request profiles, track progress, receive notification when the requests have been filled, and view data. Automated systems and bar coding improve efficiency, help track compound and plate locations, and create audits trail of the profiling process.

Making time available to track progress on key initiatives. 

Ambitious and measurable targets should be defined and transparency on performance should be regularly provided, to mobilize the organization and track progress objectively. 

The U.S. EPA issued the Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) Project Plan report in May 2006.90 It identified a number of activities that the EPA was conducting regarding PBDEs, as well as activities it intended to initiate or consider. In March 2008, the second progress report, Tracking Progress on U.S. EPA s Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) Project Plan Status Report on Key Activities, was issued.91 Updates were reported to the assessment of substitutes for penta-BDE and octa-BDE, assessment and evaluation of deca-BDE, assessment of the risks of penta-BDE and octa-BDE, and tracking of developments concerning other brominated flame-retardants of interest.

In order to periodically assess the health of the nation, a set of leading health indicators was developed for the first time (Table 2). These indicators, which address major public health concerns, were chosen based on their ability to motivate action, the availability of data to measure progress, and their relevance as broad public health issues. For each of the leading health indicators, specific objectives from Healthy People 2010 were selected and will be used to track progress. This small subset of measures will provide a snapshot of the health of the nation. Even though the leading health indicator may have the same name as a focus area, the indicator may...

The report is clearly indexed and set out. It tracks progress made towards meeting ICI s SH E 2000 targets, and features articles on how ICI manage safety, health and environment, and the company s involvement in community and conservation issues. For the first time the report also includes articles on how ICI views important issues. The subjects covered in this report are climate change, chemical management and endocrine disruption. 

UI is now recommended by the WHO as the main indicator to assess iodine stams in a population, and to track progress toward the efimination of iodine deficiency. School-age children are the recommended population group for iodine intake surveillance.
