The ISCG Projects

The ISCG plans and coordinates a series of research projects to assist the development of the equipment and processes involved in measuring occupational exposure to airborne dusts.  This research is needed to verify the equipment and processes used to measure exposure to dust are performing to known levels.

There are a few reasons why this is needed:

  • If an occupational hygienist takes multiple samples of a task in a workplace, how close should the results be to each other?
  • If an equipment manufacturer brings a new device to the market, what information should an occupational hygienist have to decide whether to buy it?

In summary these projects are categorised into:

  • Strategic research:
    • Reviewing and analysing the literature.
  • Laboratory based:
    • Validating the devices used to measure exposure.
  • Field work based:
    • Validating the measurement processes and equipment in workplaces.

This website includes information on these projects, provided by the researchers.
