Haz-Map Toxicology Database

09.15.2007 · Posted in Uncategorized

Haz-Map was designed to be a decision-support computer application for occupational safety and health professionals. Its aim is to assist physicians, physician assistants, occupational health nurses, and industrial hygienists in the recognition of diseases caused by toxic chemicals and infectious agents in the workplace. Since its publication on the website of the National Library of Medicine in 2002, Haz-Map has also served consumers seeking information about the health effects of exposure to chemicals and biologicals at work.

The purpose of Haz-Map is to assist in the identification and prevention of occupational diseases. All occupational diseases are preventable by reducing exposure in the workplace. Early recognition of an occupational disease in one worker can lead to prevention of the disease in coworkers.

The author of Haz-Map is Dr. Jay A. Brown, MD, MPH.
