Alerts briefly present new information about occupational illnesses, injuries, and deaths. Alerts urgently request assistance in preventing, solving, and controlling newly identified occupational hazards. Workers, employers, and safety and health professionals are asked to take immediate action to reduce risks and implement controls.
|
|||
Hazard Controls are short, user-friendly documents that describe control techniques for reducing hazardous exposures to workers in a particular application or industrial process. These documents outline and illustrate successful engineering controls and work practices.
Hazard IDs (Identifications) are short, user-friendly documents that summarize the results of NIOSH studies at a worksite. These documents identify new or current safety and health hazards and offer recommendations for control or prevention. HIDs are directed primarily to workers at other U.S. worksites who are similarly exposed but may be unaware of the hazards and measures for prevention.
|
|||
Current Intelligence Bulletins review and evaluate new and emerging information about occupational hazards. They may draw attention to a previously unrecognized hazard, report new data about a known hazard, or disseminate information about hazard control.
|
|||
Updates are brief nontechnical publications that are intended to provide information about NIOSH findings and recommend preventive measures. The information is presented in a format that can be easily used by the media and other organizations.
