In-Depth Survey Report: Field Evaluation of Dynapac Engineering Controls Designed to Reduce Occupational Exposures During Asphalt Paving Operations at Dynapac, Inc., San Antonio, Texas.

摘要

On April 29-May 2, 1998, researchers from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) evaluated a first-generation engineering control designed to capture and remove fugitive asphalt emissions during asphalt paving. The Dynapac engineering control evaluation was completed as part of a Department of Transportation (DOT) project to evaluate the effectiveness of engineering controls on asphalt paving equipment. NIOSH researchers conducted the research through an inter-agency agreement with DOT's Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Industry, labor, and governmental participation in the project was fostered through a research partnership which included NIOSH, FHWA, the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA), the Asphalt Institute, six manufacturers of asphalt paving equipment, the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE), the Laborers' Health and Safety Fund of North America (LHSFNA).
