Environmental risks

Human health risks

Tools or techniques for measurement

Example: Asbestos

Example: Construction workers, demolition workers, drywall removers, asbestos removal workers, shipbuilding tradesmen, firefighters, textile makers, and automobile workers

Example: Asbestos tiny particles do not break down – often found in air, water, and soil

Example: Lung cancer

Example: Air sampler, cassette, and transmission electron microscope – Measure prior to work that may potentially disturb asbestos, using breathing zone air samples representative of employees’ time exposure.

Organize and create a job aid for ease and effectiveness of use on the information in the table. Submit the job aid as a separate document.
