On
December 14, the NIOSH Morgantown facility was awarded "Star"
status under the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP). This is a notable accomplishment. The
VPP program is OSHA’s official recognition of the outstanding efforts
of employers and employees who have demonstrated excellence in occupational
safety and health. According to the most recent figures from OSHA, the
prestigious designation of "Star" status has only been awarded to
938 U.S. worksites under Federal jurisdiction as of November 30, 2005.
To obtain "Star" status, VPP requires worksites to have successful
ongoing safety and health management systems, cooperation between labor and
management, and low incident rates. The Morgantown facility was awarded the
"Star" status after OSHA and other VPP representatives conducted a
thorough site visit consisting of program audits, records inspections,
facility walkthroughs, and 208 formal and informal interviews with employees.
The cooperative efforts of Morgantown’s dedicated safety office staff
and several employee representatives were recognized by the audit team.
Additional items that particularly impressed the audit team were the safety
and health committee, the safety training and recordkeeping programs, and the
completeness of the site’s employee fitness programs.
This recognition demonstrates that
we at NIOSH not only produce world quality science, but we also know how to
“walk the walk” when it comes to making our own workplace as
safe, healthy and secure as possible. Special thanks and congratulations are
extended to Dan Browning, the Management Operations Officer for the
Morgantown facility, the Safety Office staff for coordinating the extensive
preparations and hard work required to reach this level of success in a
relatively short period of time, and to each of the Morgantown employees who
contributed time and effort into the preparations for the site evaluation and
provided the necessary employee involvement required to receive this
designation. The Morgantown facility houses the Division of Respiratory Disease
Studies, the Division of Safety Research and the Health Effects Laboratory
Division. More information on the OSHA Voluntary Protection Programs can be

NIOSH Presents
Evidence Package to National Academies for Review of Occupational Energy
Research
Program
|
|
![OERP logo]() NIOSH has presented a full package
of information to the National Academies (NA) for its review of the NIOSH
Occupational Energy Research Program. The document, called an Evidence
Package, presents a comprehensive overview and history of the program, a
detailed summary of completed research and communication products, and a
rationale and plan for future research. NIOSH research has an important role
in supporting the well-being of more than 600,000 energy workers in the U.S.
and more than 10 million worldwide. Much work, however, remains to be done in
translating heath effects research into impact-driven practice for improving
worker and public health. The NA review will help NIOSH set an optimal
direction for future efforts to continue research and to move from research
to practice in this area. The Evidence Package can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/nas/oerp/OERP-NAS.html.

Panel Members, Next Steps for NAS
Review of Two NIOSH Programs Announced
|
|
In
an effort that is separate from but related to the review of the Occupational
Energy Research Program, the National Academies (NA) has initiated its
evaluation of selected NIOSH research program areas with the formation of
provisional committees to review two programs. The NA will be evaluating not
only what NIOSH research programs are producing, but also determining the
extent to which NIOSH research is relevant to worker health and safety needs
in the workplace. They will also evaluate the extent to which NIOSH research
contributes to reducing risk of occupational injuries, illnesses, and deaths.
The evaluation is being undertaken by the National Research Council (NRC) and
the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in the NA.
In
December, the NA announced provisional committees to review the hearing loss
prevention and mining injury and illness prevention. Following a 20-day
public comment period, the NA has set up meetings of the two committees.
Stay tuned to eNews for
more information on the NA review process and additional meeting dates and
times.

Developments Highlight NIOSH Leadership
in PPE Research
|
|
Recent
developments involving a technical investigation, new respirator testing and
certification criteria, a new partnership, and professional recognition
highlight NIOSH's leadership in research for advancing personal protective
equipment. The developments pertain to activities by NIOSH's National
Personal Protective Technology Laboratory:
- NIOSH is conducting a
technical investigation to understand the reasons for reported problems
with Personal Alert Safety Systems (PASS) used by fire
and emergency services. PASS systems sound a loud audio alarm if the
wearer becomes immobilized for 25 seconds. The audio alarm assists
rescue crews in locating the downed firefighter. The performance of PASS
systems is covered in a National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
Standard. An April 2005 letter from the NIOSH Division of Safety
Research to NFPA raised the possible limitations in PASS performance in
high temperatures encountered when fighting fires. The possibility of
reduced PASS audio alarm in high temperature environments was identified
during line of duty death investigations by the NIOSH Fire Fighter
Fatality Investigation and Prevention Program Team (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/firehome.html).
NIOSH presented the findings of the Team to the NFPA Technical
Correlating Committee for Fire and Emergency Services Protective
Clothing and Equipment on which it has membership. NFPA posted a PASS
alarm warning notice on the NFPA web site while the investigation is
on-going (http://www.nfpa.org/itemDetail.asp?categoryID=136&itemID=26606&URL="">).
NIOSH is asking users to notify it of any additional instances of
in-service PASS performance limitations by emailing NPPTL_PASS@xxxxxxx. More
information is available at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/usernotices/default.html#pass.
- On December 13, 2005, NIOSH
convened a public meeting with respirator manufacturers and other
stakeholders to continue discussions on concepts for standards for
testing and certifying powered, air-purifying respirators (PAPRs) and
closed-circuit, self-contained, breathing apparatus that would be used
for respiratory protection against chemical, biological, radiological,
and nuclear (CBRN) agents. In the public meeting, NIOSH noted that it
proposes, as a first step, to establish criteria administratively for
testing PAPRs for CBRN exposures, so that testing of such devices can
begin in a timely way, and then to develop formal standards under a
notice-and-comment process. If devices are certified after testing under
the administratively established criteria, manufacturers would not be
required to re-submit them for testing under the formally established
criteria. Additional details are available at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/.
- NIOSH and the American
Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) formalized an agreement on
December 2, 2005, to facilitate cooperation between the two
organizations. The agreement involves the determination of performance
requirements and cooperation in the development of test methods, product
specifications, practices, guides, classifications, and terminology
related to work and emergency responder protective clothing and
equipment. Further information on the agreement is available at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/r2p/mou/ASTMmou.html.
- NIOSH chemist Dennis Viscusi
was named U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Employee
of the Month for December 2005. The award recognized Dennis' technical
contributions to the transformation of a 1940s-era building on NIOSH's
Bruceton, Pa., campus into a state-of-the-art laboratory facility for
testing respirators. The renovated laboratory building opened in May
2005. While carrying out his regular duties, Dennis helped with every
detail of the building renovation, from laying out the lab benches and
placing test equipment to ensuring that the appropriate power
requirements were available for the lab equipment to minimize electrical
interference. More information on Dennis' contributions is available at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/enews/viscusi/viscusi.html.

CSTE
and NIOSH Release
Occupational Surveillance Data
|
|
The Council of State and
Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) and NIOSH have released a new report, Putting Data to Work: Occupational
Health Indicators from Thirteen Pilot States for 2000.
The report defines 19 occupational health indicators (OHI), specific measures
of a work-related disease or injury or factors associated with occupational
health in a specified population. The indicators allow for assessing and
monitoring overall health and provide a baseline from which comparisons and
trends over time can be tracked. OHIs are intended to increase the
consistency and availability of occupational disease and injury surveillance
data at the state and federal levels. The set of OHIs are part of a larger
national process of public health indicator development including injury,
environmental, chronic disease and the “Leading Health
Indicators” of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Healthy
People 2010 project. The CSTE-NIOSH report can be found at http://www.cste.org/pdffiles/newpdffiles/CSTE_OHI.pdf.

NIOSH and Beryllium Producer hold
Annual Stakeholder Meeting
|
|
On November 3 and 4, 2005, NIOSH
and Brush Wellman Inc. (BWI), the major U.S. producer of beryllium and
beryllium-containing products, held their annual stakeholder communications
meeting in Morgantown, WV. The meeting served as a communication forum among
workforce representatives from all company levels, company health and safety
staff and NIOSH researchers. Workers highlighted research-driven changes put
into practice at the facility over the past 20 years, described the beryllium
management program and its implementation at another facility, and posed
questions to NIOSH researchers as ideas for future research. NIOSH
researchers presented a review of the program progress and updates on ongoing
industrial hygiene, genetic, and epidemiologic research studies. Upon their
return to the plant, the workers shared the meeting information with
coworkers and their families. In 1998, NIOSH and BWI signed a Memorandum of
Understanding that outlined a plan to conduct beryllium-related occupational
safety and health research, with the ultimate goal of preventing beryllium
disease. More information on NIOSH beryllium research highlights is available
at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/beryllium/newsletter.html.

![NIOSH Nanotech image]() Nanotechnology health issues reviewed in journal article
The body of scientific evidence about the occupational health implications of
airborne, engineered nanoparticles is comprehensively reviewed in a new,
peer-reviewed journal article by two scientists, one a current NIOSH
researcher and the other formerly with NIOSH. The article, “Airborne Nanostructured
Particles and Occupational Health,” by Andrew D. Maynard and Eileen D. Kuempel,
appears in the December 2005 Journal of Nanoparticle Research. Dr. Maynard is
now with the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, and Dr. Kuempel
is with the NIOSH Education and Information Division.
An
abstract of the article is available online at Springerlink.
From
the available evidence, the scientists conclude that the current data,
although limited, suggest the wisdom of taking prudent measures in working
with engineered nanomaterials. While more research is needed to better
understand the characteristics and behaviors of nanomaterials relevant for
assessing their occupational health implications, enough data exist for
suggesting preliminary guiding principles, according to the article.
NIOSH
conducts a strategic research program in key areas described by the article,
and offers preliminary guidance in the Web-based document “Approaches
to Safe Nanotechnology” on occupational safety and health practices
pending additional needed research. Further information is available at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/nanotech.

NIOSH Nanotechnology
expertise highlighted in ISO Technical Committee Meeting
NIOSH’s international leadership in research on the
occupational health and safety implications of nanotechnology was highlighted
on Nov. 9-11, 2005, at the inaugural meeting of the International
Organization for Standardization’s (ISO) Technical Committee on
Nanotechnologies. The meeting was an early step in a process to develop
international standards for global consistency in all aspects of
nanotechnology. NIOSH's roles in the meeting reflected a vigorous U.S.
involvement in the process:
- Vladimir Murashov, a senior
scientist in the NIOSH Director’s Office, was part of a 13-member
U.S. delegation led by Dr. E. Clayton Teague, Director of the National
Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO), and Chair of the U.S.
Technical Advisory Group for nanotechnology. Dr. Murashov was the only
member of the delegation who specifically represented occupational
health issues.
- NIOSH’s Web-based document Approaches to Safe
Nanotechnology is under consideration by the U.S.
Technical Advisory Group for submission to the ISO Technical Committee
as a potential basis for the committee’s development of an ISO
Technical Report on occupational health issues.
More
information on the international meeting is available from the ISO at http://www.iso.org/iso/en/commcentre/pressreleases/2005/Ref980.html.
Additional information on the NIOSH nanotechnology research program, and on
opportunities for stakeholder participation, is available at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/nanotech.
NIOSH to form field
research team for partnerships in studying, assessing Nanotechnology
processes
NIOSH will form an interdisciplinary field team of NIOSH researchers in the
area of nanotechnology. The team will partner with employers and others in
conducting field studies to observe and assess occupational health and safety
practices in facilities where nanotechnology processes and applications are
used.
NIOSH Director John Howard, M.D.,
invited NIOSH scientists and engineers through an all-hands email on Dec. 27,
2005, to participate in the effort. More information on the initiative can be

companies throughout the U.S. has resulted in the use of directional
lifelines, chemical light sticks and hand-held lasers for assisting
miners in evacuating underground mines during emergencies.
- NIOSH and stakeholders
established new respirator standards for chemical, biological,
radiological and nuclear (CBRN) hazards which have been endorsed by the
National Fire Protection Association and adopted by the U.S. Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) for use on equipment purchased by DHS grant
funds.
- A partnership resulted in significantly lower lead
levels among Connecticut construction workers participating in a
NIOSH-funded program compared with counterparts in other states.

Preventing
chemical and dust hazards focus of three new videos from CSB
The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) has released
three new educational videos illustrating the work of the agency.
- A 7-minute video describing
good management practices for preventing deaths and injuries involving
sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS). NaHS, a process chemical used in the paper,
mining and leather industries, releases highly toxic hydrogen sulfide
gas when mixed with acid or heated. Since 1971, accidents from exposure
to this chemical have resulted in 32 deaths and 176 injuries.
- A 20-minute video summary of
the CSB hearing into the hazards of combustible dust causing tragic
explosions in North Carolina, Kentucky and Indiana. The three incidents
resulted in the deaths of 14 workers and 81 injuries.
- A computer-generated animation depicting the sequence
of events leading to the explosion and fire at BP’s Texas City, TX
refinery in March 2005.
The videos can be viewed in the
CSB Video Archive at http://www.csb.gov and
