Hello, my name is Melanie and I am currently a Prosthetic student at CSU
Dominguez Hills. I have decided to do my research project on the
effects of
the chemicals that we use in fabrication on our health. I have devised
this
little survey to gather information and would greatly appriciate any
insite
that you could provide by taking the time to answer the questions.
Basically, I am after the type of chemicals most commonly used, the
education recieved about them and where that education was obtained.
Thank
you for your time and I hope to hear back from you.

Please reply to me directly and fill in the responses after each of the
questions.


Are you a technician or practitioner?

ABC or BOC certified?

How many years have you been working in the O & P field?

How many hours per day do you spend fabricating?

What types of resins, epoxies, glues, acrylics, etc. do you most
commonly
use?

Have you recieved any apecific chemical education via OSHA, MSDS,
school,
work, etc.?

How compliant are you and your facility with OSHA regulations such as:
(please answer with a yes or no on the following)

chemical storage
gloves
dust mask
goggles
respiraters
ear plugs
Other

What concerns you about the chemicals you work with?



Have you or anyone you know at your facility had any reaction as a
result of
working with chemicals? If yes please explain.



Thanks again for your time and I await your response.
