| Abstract |
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) inspection data on airborne exposures in similar exposure groups for the period 1979-1989 were analyzed: exposures to lead in the battery manufacturing industry; to perchloroethylene among dry cleaners; and to iron oxide among metal arc welders. The analysis provided evidence of trends in levels of exposure and also examined the effects of the year, type and scope of the inspection, and of the size and union status of the establishments. Results showed that OSHA data is amenable to analysis that can provide valuable insights about workplace exposures. |
