Advisory Council for the Elimination of Tuberculosis (ACET), 57582 [E7-19885]

Download as PDF 57582 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 195 / Wednesday, October 10, 2007 / Notices preventive program that was implemented by company management beginning in 2000 has successfully reduced the incidence of beryllium sensitization, as defined by the occurrence of confirmed abnormal BeLPTs. However, the follow-up has thus far been limited to current workers, the duration has been too short to document a reduced incidence of CBD, and it is possible that sensitization has been delayed, rather than prevented. Evaluation of this program’s effectiveness would therefore be more complete by including individuals who have left employment and documenting whether: (1) The program was effective at two other facilities at which it was implemented, (2) the program prevented beryllium sensitization over a longer period of time (i.e., up to eight years); and (3) the program prevented CBD, which generally takes longer to develop. Study Design This proposed study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive preventive program at three beryllium plants. Approximately 579 eligible workers for this survey include those hired between implementation of a comprehensive program (2000) and December 31, 2008, including any already known to be sensitized. NIOSH will offer all eligible current and former workers the BeLPT to identify sensitization and administer a work and medical history questionnaire. There are no costs to former worker respondents except their time to participate in the interview; current workers will participate during work hours and thus compensated by their employer, and former workers will participate during their own time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 193.
