Health Hazard Evaluation Report No. HHE-80-164-943, Golden Gate Bridge District, San Francisco, California

摘要

On June 4, 1981, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) received a request for a Health Hazard Evaluation from a representative of the International Brotherhood of Painters and Allied Trades, Painters Local Union 4, San Francisco, California. The requestor was concerned that the painters were exposed to high levels of lead, crystalline silica, and noise during sandblasting operations on the Golden Gate Bridge. Suggested medical tests and safer hoods were recommended. A significant amount of occupational hearing loss was reported, and recommendations on a hearing conservation program were made.
