Conducted by NIOSH, these comprehensive case studies bring the latest research and technology to bear on workplace health problems which are likely to be encountered at a variety of worksites. These hard to find case studies have been selected based on a number of variables including type of workplace involved, the activities conducted there, and the causative agents determined to be responsible for the problems. You can rely on these case studies to determine which options of evaluation and control have been successfully applied under circumstances similar to the ones you face in your workplace. These case studies consist of a summary, introduction, background (including a description of the facility), materials, methods, and evaluation criteria used in the investigation, results and discussion, conclusions, recommendations, and references.
