Workers’ International Association

Individual national efforts outside the United States to control lead paint production and/or use, particularly in Europe, arose out of the nineteenth century organized labor movement that accompanied the industrialization of Europe. In 1867, occupational concerns over white lead production and use resulted in the Congress of the Workers International Association while 1896 witnessed the International Workers Conference on the same topic. In 1901, the Assembly of the International Association for Labour Legislation was convened to deal with the topic of white lead.

Current ways in which many scientists are addressing problems related to the above applications can be judged by reference to abstracts of the International Association of Dental Research (32). For the remainder of this article, a few lines of investigation in just one laboratory will be outlined in the belief that they include points of general interest to workers on other aspects of hi ly crosslinked polymers.

Other areas of concern include increases in the number of aircraft fires and the mrniber of accidents caused by metal fatigue and corrosion, which International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers president Winpisinger (1988, pg. 365) attributes to reduced maintenance and inspection efforts however, this observation is not based on a statistical analysis. Finally, an Office of Technology Assessment (OTA, 1988) report raises concerns regarding ... 

An analysis by Morrison and Winston (1988, pg. 11) shows that airframe hours of planes involved in accidents have increased, but hours have increased even more for the industry fleet. Thus, it does not appear that the use of aging aircraft has in general been associated with a substantial increase in overall risk. However, International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers president Winpisinger (1988, pp. 365-366) notes that the age of aircraft involved in accidents caused by metal fatigue increased much more rapidly than the age of aircraft involved in other types of accidents. This suggests that increased aircraft age may have contributed to the risk of that specific category of accidents.

Exposure to trace elements in glass workers is associated with internal malignancy (Wingren and Axelson 1993) There is a suggestion that nasal cancer may be associated with occupational exposure to arsenic (Battista et al. 1996). 

This author provided input on Annex E to the two people who drafted it Jim Howe, vice chairman of the ZIO Accredited Standards Committee, representing the United Auto Workers International Union and Kendall Crawford, who operates Kendall C. Crawford Associates and represented the American Petroleum Institute as a ZIO committee member. Howe and Crawford made revisions in what I provided so that its definitions and language were compatible with those of the standard itself. Crandall combined the separate risk assessment matrix and management decision levels I sent him into one matrix. Although the exhibit in Table 11 is close to the example given in Annex E, it is not an exact duplicate.

There are various soft chemical ionization mass spectrometric analytical techniques being used for breath analysis, and after PTR-MS the most popular is SIFT-MS (and most notably the work by Smith and Spanel [74] and their co-workers). In this book, we will only concentrate on those studies that have been undertaken with PTR-MS. However, for the interested reader who wishes to know more about the results from a wide range of analytical instruments, we comment that the International Association for Breath Research (lABR), which was founded in 2005, is establishing a database of volatile substances found in breath (both for humans and animals), as well as from skin, urine, faeces and flatulence. Once available, this database will be accessible through the website http //iabr.voc-research.at. Furthermore, disease markers in breath and their potential diagnostic properties are also comprehensively discussed in a book edited by Marczin and Yacoup [75].

It can be seen that the various boxes in the flowchart can be associated with different stages of the stepladder model. For example, the first box on the left corresponds to skill-based behavior and its associated internal failure mechanisms. The second box illustrates the situation (Stereotype Fixation) where the worker erroneously does not change to a rule-based mode when encountering an unusual situation in the skill-based mode (see also the discussion of the GEMS model in Section 2.6.3).
