Health Hazard Evaluation Survey

Final Report

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) conducts surveys of people at each work place who were involved in NIOSH evaluations. We use the information from these surveys to improve our procedures and reports and to learn about the effects of NIOSH evaluations in reducing and preventing work-related illness and injury. We are interested in your experiences and thoughts about the NIOSH evaluation now that it is completed. Please help us by filling out this survey form. We will send you another survey in approximately one year, asking about implementation of the recommendations that NIOSH made.

Your responses will be kept in a secure manner according to applicable laws. Our reports will include only summary information and will not identify you in any way.

Please mail completed surveys to NIOSH in the postage paid envelope. If you have any questions or concerns, please call Barbara Jenkins at 513-458-7132.

Thank you!
