Industrywide Studies Report: A Walk Through Survey of Ross Laboratories (Division of Abbott Laboratories), Columbus, Ohio.

Publication Date	1985
Personal Author	Greife, A.; Steenland, K.
Page Count	15
Abstract	A walk through survey was conducted at Ross Laboratories, a Division of Abbott Laboratories (SIC-2023, SIC-3069), Columbus, Ohio in August, 1985. The purpose of the survey was to determine the feasibility of including the facility in a NIOSH industry wide mortality/industrial hygiene survey of ethylene-oxide (75218). The facility produced infant formula and infant related products, including nipples. The company had a full time nurse on the first and second shifts. A physician was available on a contract basis. New employees were given preemployment physicals. Employees received annual physicals until 1982 after which they became optional. The physicals did not include any components relating to ethylene-oxide exposure. The authors conclude that the personnel records are not adequate to identify a cohort of exposed individuals at the facility. The facility will not be included in the NIOSH study.
