Health Hazard Evaluation Determination Report No. 76-35-301, The Wood Shed, Belle Mead, New Jersey

摘要

A Health Hazard Evaluation investigation was conducted by NIOSH on March 23-24, 1976, at The Wood Shed, a furniture stripping and refinishing shop in Belle Mead, New Jersey. The survey evaluated potential hazards in the furniture stripping and refinishing operations. Breathing zone and general area air samples were taken to determine exposure to xylene (1330207) and dimethylformamide (68122), and medical records were reviewed. The results revealed that the employees were not exposed to harmful concentrations of solvents. It is recommended that the current practice of respirator use be continued during periods of potential exposure.
