Walk-Through Survey Report, Henredon Furniture Industries, Morgantown, North Carolina, August 2, 1978

摘要

A walk-through survey was conducted at Henredon Furniture Industries, Inc., (SIC-2512) in Morganton, North Carolina on August 2, 1978, to determine whether this site would be suitable for inclusion in an epidemiological, industrial hygiene and medical survey of health hazards in the painting trades. The facility employed 785 workers, 110 of whom worked in finishing operations. An industrial nurse was present at the facility. Pre-employment physicals were not required but audiometric examination were given to employees. Splinters and contusions were the most common accidents. The company had a safety program and committee but no industrial hygiene program. Spraying operations were conducted in spray booths. Clear lacquers, pigmented lacquers, glazes, stains, and sealers were used. Large quantities of finishing materials were used on a continuous basis. The authors recommend the facility for further industrial hygiene, epidemiologic and medical surveys.
