Evaluation of Potential Employee Exposures at a Medical Examiner's Office

By Health Hazard Evaluation Report

The Health Hazard Evaluation Program received a request from a manager at a medical examiner's office. The request concerned possible health hazards associated with work practices and workplace conditions in several areas including the autopsy suite, the toxicology and histology laboratories, and offices. Specific exposures of concern included volatile organic compounds (VOCs), fiberglass, mold, particulates, and formalin (a preservative containing formaldehyde). Concerns of poor indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and insufficient ventilation were also reported. We evaluated the building in May 2012.
