Proposed Project

    Health Hazard Evaluation Program Customer Survey--New--The National 
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Health Hazard Evaluation Program (HHE) was mandated by specific 
provision of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 and the 
Federal Mine Safety Act of 1977.

Through the HHE Program, NIOSH responds to requests to identify 
chemical, biological or physical hazards in workplaces throughout the 
United States. An HHE Program evaluation can be requested by employers, 
employees, employee representatives, other federal agencies, and state 
and local agencies. NIOSH proposes conducting a program of quantitative 
and qualitative research to help ensure that the HHE Program is 
responsive to the needs of its customers and enhances the diversity of 
workplaces and hazards assessed. The information from this research 
will be used to develop a targeted marketing campaign to increase 
awareness of and access to HHE Program services. To begin, NIOSH will 
conduct a Web based survey of potential customers in the Food and 
Beverage Manufacturing or Services to Buildings and Dwellings industry 
who are responsible for workplace health and safety. The goals of the 
survey are to determine: (1) What percentage of customers are familiar 
with the HHE Program; (2) how customers surveyed prefer to receive 
occupational safety and health-related information, (3) what 
occupational safety and health communication products are most useful 
to customers surveyed; (4) what barriers prevent customers surveyed 
from using HHE Program resources; (5) what would motivate customers 
surveyed to use HHE Program resources; and (6) what are the top 
occupational safety and health concerns of those surveyed. This will be 
followed by qualitative research (focus groups) to determine (1) what 
concepts are most effective at raising awareness of the HHE Program 
with consumers, and (2) what messages should be used to inform 
customers about the HHE Program. The results from both phases of this 
research will be used to design and refine a targeted marketing 
campaign before materials are promoted and distributed nationally. Each 
phase will be conducted over a two to three month period.
    There will be no cost to the respondents other than their time. The
