Control of Occupational Exposures During Construction: Meeting

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)

of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the

following meeting.

Name: Control of Occupational Exposures during Construction.

Time and date: 1 p.m.-4 p.m., July 14, 1994.

Place: Alice Hamilton Laboratory, Conference Room A. NIOSH, CDC,

5555 Ridge Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 45213.

Status: Open to the public, limited only by the space available.

Purpose: The purpose of this open meeting is to review and

discuss a NIOSH project entitled, ``Control of Occupational

Exposures during Construction.'' Peer reviewers will give their

individual review comments and suggestions regarding the scope of

the study. Historically, many exposures related to construction have

gone unquantified and uncontrolled. The objective of this project is

to provide the construction industry with information concerning

practical, effective engineering controls and work methods which

minimize worker exposures to process-generated air contaminants. The

initial phases of this project will focus on drywall sanding and

roofing kettles. Viewpoints and suggestions from industry, labor,

academia, other government agencies, and the public are invited.

Contact Person for Additional Information: Kenneth R. Mead,

NIOSH, CDC, 4676 Columbia Parkway, Mailstop R5, Cincinnati, Ohio

45226, telephone 513/841-4221.

Dated: June 29, 1994.

Acting Associate Director for Policy Coordination, Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention (CDC).
