Although a great deal of occupational exposure data is collected, it is probably insufficient to truly answer the question of legislative compliance, ill directed in terms of real workplace risks, and is of little subsequent use for epidemiological research. This paper is an attempt to summarise the more important components and requirements of a sampling strategy, and it is therefore aimed at those with this responsibility. Perhaps, all too frequently, the more esoteric nature of these issues and their research means that they are published in journals outside the normal sphere of readership, or when it is within that sphere the quantity of statistical nomenclature and content makes it too daunting to attempt to read. By simplifying and summarising, this paper is intended to help justify a change in the sampling programme and to initiate debate.
尽管收集了大量职业暴露数据，但这些数据可能不足以真正回答法规合规性问题，在实际工作场所风险方面的指向有误，且后续对流行病学研究的用途不大。本文旨在总结抽样策略中更重要的组成部分和要求，因此面向负责此项工作的人员。或许，这些问题及其研究往往具有更深奥的性质，这意味着它们发表在普通读者群体之外的期刊上，或者即使在该读者群体范围内，统计术语和内容的数量也使其难以阅读。通过简化和总结，本文旨在帮助证明抽样计划的改变是合理的，并引发讨论。
