Abstract: OSHA,in a cooperative effort with representatives of
major trade and labor associations and the public, has developed a suite of
interactive, problem-solving, and problem-finding expert software programs.
These "Expert Advisors" assist the public to understand and apply OSHA
standards and guidance on various safety and health topics.1)The Cadmium
Biological Monitoring Advisor (GOCAD) analyzes workers' medical lab tests to
evaluate their exposure to cadmium, which causes kidney disease and cancer.
2)The Asbestos Advisor guides building owners, managers, leasees, as well as
contractors of building renovations, maintenance, and housekeeping services,
through a series of questions, and based on their responses, writes a report
detailing the user's responsibilities under the Asbestos rules. 3) The Confined
Space Advisor analyzes and advises on Permit Required Confined Spaces. 4) The
Fire Safety Advisor evaluates compliance with various interrelated standrds and
will prepare customized Emergency Action Plans and fire Prevention Plans. 5)
the Lead in construction Advisor identifies Lead hazards and evaluates exposure
data. 6) The Safety Pays Advisor estimates the direct and indirect costs of
Lost Work Day injuries and illnesses, and the revenues needed to recover those
costs. 7) The HAZARD AWARENESS ADVISOR interviews users to prepare a customized
report on the hazards in their workplaces and the OSHA standards that are
applicable to the work. 8) The SafeCare Advisor identifies hazards in long-term
health care facilities. 9) The Lead in General Industry Advisor evaluates
compliance with the Lead Standard, and advises employers and medical
professionals on air and medical monitoring. 10) The Respirator Standard
Advisor determines how respiratory protection requirements apply to specific
factual situations. 11) The Safety and Health Program Advisor evaluates company
safety programs, and suggests improvements and goals. 12) The Lockout/Tagout

measures. OSHA is developing new Expert Advisors and invites the public to
offer their suggestions.
Purpose: OSHA recognizes that an
informed safety and health community is better able to recognize and protect
itself from workplace hazards. To this end, the agency has developed the Expert
Advisor series to provide easy access through the Web to expert assistance for
employers, employees, and medical professionals to help them assure working men
and women safe and healthful workplaces.
Agency Program: OSHA
is committed to a reform of the way it does business, so that it can keep pace
with the workforce and problems of the future. Consistent with that commitment,
the agency is moving ahead to increasingly deliver compliance assistance to
employers, employees, and to the public through a variety of electronic means,
including the Expert Advisors.
