Exposure Assessment
Input: Sector and Cross-Sector Programs
Essential inputs for establishing goals and program activities in the NIOSH Exposure Assessment Portfolio arise from the specific needs of the NIOSH Sector and Cross-Sector Programs. In particular, these include:
- Problem anticipation or recognition by the sector councils which cover the full spectrum of work
- Problem anticipation or recognition by the disease and injury-specific cross-sector programs that address the individual health risks and consequences encountered by workers
- Heath Hazard Evaluations, which are performed under the regulatory authority of Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 85 (42CFR85)
- Research in places of employment, which is performed under the regulatory authority of Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 85a (42CFR85a)
- Surveillance information from a variety of intramural and extramural sources
- Stakeholders from the sectors, cross-sectors, and professional exposure assessment community
- Infrastructure capabilities and resources to achieve the potential exposure assessment goals
- Budget targets established for specific areas of exposure assessment research and practice
- Federal mandates
- Emerging issues (e.g., nanotechnology safety)
