	National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		NIOSH is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
		NIOSH was established to help assure safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women by providing research, information, education, and training in the field of occupational safety and health.
		NIOSH provides national and world leadership to prevent work-related illness, injury, disability, and death by gathering information, conducting scientific research, and translating the knowledge gained into products and services.

	NIOSH / Databases and Information Resources
		NIOSH conducts Health Hazard Evaluations (HHEs) to find out whether there are health hazards to employees caused by exposures or conditions in the workplace.
		The NIOSH Life Table Analysis System was created primarily to analyze cohorts defined by occupational exposures.
		The CEL is a database of all NIOSH certified respirators and coal mine dust personal sampler units.

	NIOSH Latent Print Processes Report
		NIOSH evaluated potential exposures to ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate, petroleum ether, iodine, acetone, titanium dioxide, and carbon fl in the fingerprint laboratories and at a simulated crime scene.
		NIOSH investigators also evaluated the use of the two argon lasers that were used to help detect latent fingerprints on the surface of items prior to chemical processing.
		NIOSH considers carbon fl a potential human carcinogen.' Particulate polycyclic organic material (PPOM), polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PNAs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHS) are terms frequently encountered in the literature and often used interchangeably.

	NIOSH/Criteria for a Recommended Standard--Occupational Noise Exposure, 1998
		NIOSH defines significant threshold shift as an increase in the HTL of 15 dB or more at any frequency (500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, or 6000 Hz) in either ear that is confirmed for the same ear and frequency by a second test within 30 days of the first test.
		NIOSH [1972] did not address the hazard of impulsive (i.e., impulse or impact) noise, although NIOSH stated that the provisions of the recommended standard in the criteria document were intended to apply for all noise.
		NIOSH [1996] maintains that the professional discipline of the program implementor is not as important as his or her ability to act as the champion of the HLPP by focusing management and worker attention on hearing conservation issues.

	NIOSH Asphalt Fumes
		NIOSH also observed that no animal studies have examined the carcinogenic potential of either field- or laboratory-generated samples of paving asphalt fume condensates, and that only the laboratory-generated fumes were "genotoxic", or genetically damaging.
		NIOSH also said evidence from animal studies indicated that asphalt left on the skin for long periods of time could result in local carcinomas but that no comparable reports of these effects existed for humans.
		NIOSH says additional studies are needed to better characterize occupational exposures to asphalt fumes, vapors and aerosols, and to further evaluate the risk of chronic disease, including lung cancer.

	Applications Manual For the Revised NIOSH Lifting Equation
		The rationale and supporting criteria for the development of the revised NIOSH lifting equation are described in a journal article, Revised NIOSH Equation for the Design and Evaluation of Manual Lifting Tasks, by T. Waters, V. Putz-Anderson, A. Garg, and L. Fine, Ergonomics 1993.
		The NIOSH WPG (1981) contained a summary of the lifting-related literature before 1981; analytical procedures and a lifting equation for calculating a recommended weight for specified two-handed, symmetrical lifting tasks; and an approach for controlling the hazards of low back injury from manual lifting.
		The revised NIOSH lifting equation is based on the assumption that manual handling activities other than lifting are minimal and do not require significant energy expenditure, especially when repetitive lifting tasks are performed.

	N-Lift NIOSH Lifting Equation Calculation Software (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The program also calculates the NIOSH Recommended Weight Limit (RWL) and the Lifting Index (LI), which are indicators of the relative safety of lifting loads of a given size under various conditions.
		The NIOSH equation considers weight, starting point, distance of lift, duration of job, frequency of lift, effectiveness of coupling (hand holds on the object), and symmetry of lift (twisting of the torso).
		The current equation is commonly referred to as the "single task NIOSH lifting equation (revised)." It is based on limits for the human body; these involve acceptable forces applied to the musculoskeletal frame, body fatigue, and acceptability to a large percentile of the working population, male and female.

	NIOSH - ORGANIC SOLVENT NEUROTOXICITY
		NIOSH therefore recommends that engineering controls and personal protective equipment and clothing be used to reduce solvent exposures--at least to concentrations specified in existing OSHA PEL's, or to NIOSH REL's or ACGIH TLVs if they provide greater protection.
		NIOSH considers the PEL's, REL's, and TLVs for the specific organic solvents found in the workplace to be upper boundaries of exposure.
		NIOSH is also concerned about those organic solvents for which only neurotoxic effects have been reported.
