Part 1: Toxic Hazards Worksheet

Use the table to identify toxins, where exposure may take place, risks to the environment, possible health risks to humans, and tools or techniques for measuring exposure of the toxin. Each team member needs to submit at least two toxicants to the following chart.

Toxin	Where exposure may take place	Environmental risks	Human health risks	Tools or techniques for measurement
Example: Asbestos	Example: Construction workers, demolition workers, drywall removers, asbestos removal workers, shipbuilding tradesmen, firefighters, textile makers, and automobile workers	Example: Asbestos tiny particles do not break down - often found in air, water, and soil	Example: Lung cancer	Example: Air sampler, cassette, and transmission electron microscope - Measure prior to work that may potentially disturb asbestos, using breathing zone air samples representative of employees' time exposure.

Organize and create a job aid for ease and effectiveness of use on the information in the table. Submit the job aid as a separate document.
