12:04:07 From cliff zlotnik : Trivia: Name the AIHA member who published exposure limits in the Journal of Industrial Medicine and upon whose work OSHA's Permissible Exposure Limits are still based?
12:04:13 From Andrew Gondzur : warren cook
12:17:23 From Michael Findley : Selikoff had a practitioner oriented approach when working with insulators.
12:18:30 From Terry Sopher Sr : Q for Dr Mulhausen re disposable and reusable respirators: what have been the obstacles to developing disposable & reusable respirators that for real world use are :(1) more comfortable for extended use by a worker, and (2) effective real world ‘fit’ given a variety of body & face sizes, shapes, etc? IMO: pandemic clearly demonstrates hi priority need for vast improvement and innovation for hi level filtration.
12:51:40 From Derrick A. Denis (CSC) : EH&S in North America is sometime viewed as no longer needed and merely throwing hurdles in front of progress, meddling in the business of business, a political power grab and mostly litigation protection rather than having a real impact on protection of health. As an industrial hygienist I have taught in other countries and simply traveled around the world. Other countries have an apparent vast room for improvement. Getting workers to wear shoes is an easy and significant improvement to identify and measure. It may just be harder to see the incremental improvements in the already relatively safe North American EH&S culture
