Abstract |
The commitment to investigate and clean-up hazardous waste sites in the US is expected to result in the potential exposure of scientists, engineers, and field technicians inspecting sites, workers of various construction trades involved in remedial action, and emergency, transportation and laboratory personnel to a wide range of dangerous substances. An Environmental Protection Agency occupatonal safety and health programme for this work includes elements of individual responsibility, training, medical surveillance, evaluation and controls. The use of personal protective equipment is the main element in exposure control. |
