  • In the latter case, clearly specified quantitative benchmarks, such as median lethal doses (LD50s) for acute toxicity and no- observed-adverse-effect levels (NOAELs), or equivalent point of departure such as benchmark dose lower confidence limit (BMDL), for STOT-RE, are used. (cdc.gov)
  • This characterization provides context for defining benchmarks for the evaluation of NAMs for skin sensitization assessments. (nih.gov)
Involvement1
  • GAO examined: (1) costs and oversight of NIOSH s contracts, (2) implementation of the conflict of interest policy for NIOSH and its contractors, (3) the extent of Labor s involvement in NIOSH s activities and actions to deny benefits, and (4) challenges to advisory board independence and options to enhance it. (gao.gov)
Compliance3
  • As a global safety science leader, UL Solutions helps companies to demonstrate safety, enhance sustainability, strengthen security, deliver quality, manage risk and achieve regulatory compliance. (ul.com)
  • In addition, the proposed rule would provide for single-shift compliance sampling under the mine operator and MSHA's inspector sampling programs and would establish sampling requirements for use of the Continuous Personal Dust Monitor (CPDM) and expanded requirements for medical surveillance.

Implementation1
  • The implementation of ventilated booths in the liquid production room provides a good engineering control that can be used for a variety of tasks, including large tank ventilation. (cdc.gov)
Data3
  • To use these data in risk as- sessment, a scientifically reasonable approach for extrapolating the rodent data to humans is required. (cdc.gov)
  • GAO reviewed contract files, examined Labor s comments on NIOSH documents, and analyzed data on cases sent to NIOSH for rework. (gao.gov)
  • eChemPortal also provides descriptions of the sources and quality of data on the pages describing each participating data source. (lu.se)
Website2
