[NOISH] Exposures, Health Effects, and Controls of Chemicals from Thermal Spray Coating

The purpose of the proposed data collection is to conduct a survey of thermal spray coating facilities to (1) better understand work practices and controls related to metals, particles, and gases generated during thermal spray coating, (2) identify areas for potential intervention, and (3) identify thermal spray coating facilities willing to participate in future NIOSH exposure and health research. The resulting data will help identify areas for intervention and the burden of exposure to metals, particles, and gases in the thermal spray coating industry, and develop communication strategies for NIOSH recommendations to prevent workers’ exposure. The data will be collected via either online or telephone calls with trained interview staff using an online survey instrument. This non-substantive change requests modifications to the format of the questions to reduce complexity and does not affect the burden.
