NIOSH Selects Spiramid's Industrial Hygiene Software
Spiramid's Solution: NIOSH's First National Occupational Exposure Database (Chantilly, VA)
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has selected Spiramid's software as their central repository of NIOSH-generated, exposure-related information.
NIOSH conducts numerous field activities including health hazard evaluations, exposure assessments, control technology evaluations, and surveillance studies. These activities generate valuable detailed exposure information that is often used by NIOSH and OSHA to support the development of standards and exposure criteria. Utilizing Spiramid's software, these data will be captured systematically, secured and easily retrieved in a format to support the analysis required.
"Having been involved with NIOSH, AIHA and ACGIH on discussions of a national database for exposure data, I am very pleased that NIOSH has taken this first, very important, step", said Dave Risi, President of Spiramid. "Our solution will facilitate and streamline the collection, storage and reporting of exposure data collected by NIOSH. Maintaining the exposure and related data for all of NIOSH's projects in one system will facilitate epidemiologic research, population risk assessments, intervention studies and the establishment of exposure profiles for various occupational groups by job, process and industry.".
NIOSH worked with Westat, Inc. of Rockville, MD to evaluate alternative software solutions, and Westat will continue to assist NIOSH and Spiramid through final implementation.
