There is a need for a method to establish industrial hygiene priorities so that our limited health resources can be directed to those chemicals and conditions of use that pose the greatest risk to employee health. The Health Team hazard rating method presented in this paper accomplishes this goal and has been used successfully for several years. Also presented is a proposed method for calculating hazard ratings for inhalation exposures to gases and vapors that may allow those responsible for promulgating standards to address the hazard rather than the toxicity of a regulated chemical.
需要一种方法来确定工业卫生的优先事项，以便我们有限的健康资源能够用于那些对员工健康构成最大风险的化学品及其使用条件。本文介绍的健康团队危害评级方法实现了这一目标，并已成功使用多年。还提出了一种计算吸入气体和蒸气暴露危害评级的建议方法，这可能使负责颁布标准的人员能够针对危害而非受管制化学品的毒性来制定标准。
