Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463), the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) announces the following committee meeting:
Name: Task Group Session of the Safety and Occupational Health
Study Section, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH).
[[Page 37923]]
Time and Date: 12:30 p.m.-5:30 p.m., July 30, 1997.
Place: Teleconference originating at the NIOSH Grants Office, 1095
Willowdale Road, Morgantown, West Virginia 26505-2888.
Status: The meeting will be closed in accordance with the
provisions set forth in sections 552b(c)(4) and 552b(c)(6), title 5
U.S.C., and the Determination of the Associate Director for Management
and Operations, CDC, pursuant to Pub. L. 92-463. Application(s) and/or
proposal(s) and the discussions could reveal confidential trade secrets
or commercial property such as patentable material, and personal
information concerning individuals associated with the application(s)
and/or proposal(s), the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly
unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.
Purpose: The Task Group Session of the Safety and Occupational
Health Study Section will review, discuss, and evaluate grant
application(s) in response to the Institute's Request for Application
Number 722, entitled ``Intervention Studies for Construction Safety and
Health.''
It is the intent of NIOSH to support broad-based research endeavors
which will lead to the prevention of work-related diseases and injuries
in the construction industry by designing, implementing, and evaluating
measures to reduce occupational hazards. If prevention measures are not
currently available, new technologies should be developed for
controlling hazardous exposures. Such new technologies must be
evaluated to determine that the prevention measures are feasible, even
for smaller businesses. Intervention research, of which control
technology is a part, examines the utility and impact of new and
existing preventive measures in the workplace. It is anticipated that
research funded will promote these goals.
Agenda items are subject to change as priorities dictate.
