NIOSH conducts research to reduce work related illnesses and injuries. The Survey Reports listed below describe two types of site visits conducted as a part of that research:
- Walk-through (or preliminary). Walk-through or preliminary surveys are conducted to become familiar with a particular facility or industry. These surveys are normally of short duration and will include very limited exposure monitoring and engineering control performance data.
- In-depth surveys. In-depth surveys are of longer duration and include extensive data on worker exposures and engineering control performance. These are normally the basis for detailed recommendations for controlling occupational exposures in a given industry.
