Industrial Hygiene Walk Through Survey Report of Rockwell International, Thousand Oaks, California.

PB82112780

Publication Date	1979
Personal Author	Briggs, T.
Page Count	12
Abstract	Worker exposures to potentially harmful chemical and physical agents were determined at the Rockwell International Thousand Oaks Research Center (SIC-3674), in Thousand Oaks, California, on February 6, 1979. The survey was part of a NIOSH study of the energy technology industry. The company had no formal and industrial hygiene program. Medical services were provided by a full time nurse and a local clinic. Primary chemicals used in the photovoltaic construction processes included trichloroethylene (79016), acetone (67641), methyl-alcohol (67561), isopropyl-alcohol (67630), sulfuric-acid (7664939), hydrogen-peroxide (772284), zinc (7440666), silver (7440224), manganese (7439965), germanium (7440564), silver-cyanide (506649), and silicon-dioxide (60676860). Processing steps were generally well controlled. Arsenic (7440382) exposure presented a possible hazard. The author concludes that equipment maintenance and cleaning may pose potential chemical exposures.
