Fishermen Lead Injury Prevention Program (FLIPP) factsheet on what to include in a fisherman's first aid kit, plus flashcards with more details on the supplies to include.
Factsheet discribes the Fisherman Led Injury Prevention Program (FLIPP), a innovative project that includes commercial fishermen, researchers, extension agents, and coastal community members directly involved in the design of the project, collecting data and in testing injury prevention strategies. The project combines occupational saftey research with experience in working directly...
Fisherman Led Injury Prevention Program (FLIPP) factsheet on survey results of injuries to fishermen and ways injuries can be avoided. FLIPP is an innovative project that includes commercial fishermen, researchers, extension agents, and coastal community members.
The goal of FLIPP is to understand non-fatal injuries in the Dungeness crab fishery...
Natural gas extraction, often referred to as “fracking,” has increased rapidly in the U.S. in recent years. To address potential health impacts, passive air samplers were deployed in a rural community heavily affected by the natural gas boom. Samplers were analyzed for 62 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Results were grouped...

BACKGROUND: Occupational exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELF) is a
suspected risk factor for brain tumours, however the literature is inconsistent. Few studies have
assessed whether ELF in different time windows of exposure may be associated with specific
histologic types of brain tumours. This study examines the association...

Introduction: To date, occupational exposure assessment of electromagnetic fields (EMF) has relied on occupation-based measurements and exposure estimates. However, misclassification due to between-worker variability remains an unsolved challenge. A source-based approach, supported by detailed subject data on determinants of exposure, may allow for a more individualized exposure assessment. Detailed information...
