Minimizing Worker Exposure during Solid Sampling: A Strategy for Effective Control Technology

摘要

A strategy for controlling worker exposures to hazardous materials during solid sampling was described. This involved a systematic approach to selecting sampling devices and peripheral control technology which would minimize hazards to workers during sample collection and still meet requirements for the sample to be usable. Primary types of sample extraction designs included cross cutting, gravity flow, auger, and retractable tube.
