A second hazard module may also be completed depending on whether additional chemical agents were used in the past week. Depending on the size of the participating professional organization, all members or a random sample of members will be sent an e-mail by their organization which will contain a hyperlink to the survey. The survey will reside on a secure Web site maintained by our survey contractor. The major objectives of the survey will be to: (1) Describe the prevalence and distribution of health and safety practices by chemical hazard, occupation and type and size of work setting; (2) describe the frequency and duration of use of hazardous chemicals by occupation and type and size of work setting; and (3) describe the use of exposure controls the usefulness of surveillance information for the prevention of occupational illnesses, injuries and hazards, and actively promoting the dissemination and use of NIOSH surveillance data and information. This survey will allow NIOSH to characterize health and safety practices of healthcare workers and their work environment; describe the frequency and duration of use of the targeted hazardous chemical agents by occupation and by type and size of work setting; and describe the use of exposure controls including the use of personal protective equipment as well as the barriers to their use, by occupation and type and size of work setting. Once the study is completed, results will be made available via various means including the NIOSH internet site. NIOSH expects to complete data collection no later than spring of 2011. There is no cost to respondents other than their time. including the use of personal protective equipment as well as the barriers to their use, by occupation and type and size of work setting. The survey will provide important hazard and exposure surveillance data that is currently unavailable for healthcare workers. NIOSH will use the results to identify gaps relative to the use of best practices, to guide interventions and to stimulate future research. The participating professional organizations plan to use the data to benchmark current practices, to identify areas for expanding guidelines and to promote occupational health and safety. The target population of healthcare workers for this survey will be limited to members of the participating professional organizations who have used or been exposed to one or more of the hazardous chemical agents within the past week. Respondents will not be asked to report names or any other identifying information.
