With this technique, worker exposures are monitored with direct-reading instruments
while workplace activities are simultaneously recorded on videotape.
- Analyzing Workplace Exposure Using Direct Reading
Instruments and Video Exposure Monitoring Techniques. US Department
of Health and Human Services (DHHS), National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Publication No. 92-104, (1992, August).
Also available as a 3 MB
PDF, 90 pages. Contains information on techniques, equipment, data
analysis, and also includes case studies.
- A program that generates a graphical representation of a worker's exposure.
The program reads a real-time data file, generates a bar
(216 KB
ZIP*) or plot (226 KB
ZIP*) to represent
the magnitude of the exposure, and then display the bar or plot on the screen.
When the program is run through a video overlay system, a video recording
graphically shows how a worker's exposure is influenced by work activity.
- National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
Provides studies that utilized video exposure monitoring techniques as
part of the assessment process.
