The U.S. Army developed the Health Hazard Information Module (HHIM) software to manage occupational exposure data, enhancing industrial hygiene program effectiveness through automated data collection and reporting. This system streamlines documentation and data transfer for improved workplace safety management.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health and Safety
  • Environmental Health
  • Information Systems in Public Health

Background:

  • Industrial hygiene programs require effective management of occupational exposure data.
  • Existing methods for documenting and analyzing exposure data can be labor-intensive and prone to inefficiencies.
  • The U.S. Army sought to leverage technology to improve its industrial hygiene processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the Health Hazard Information Module (HHIM) software.
  • To demonstrate the application of automated information systems technology in managing occupational exposure.
  • To improve the overall effectiveness of industrial hygiene programs.

Main Methods:

  • Field industrial hygienists use portable, pen-based computers to document survey methods, findings, conclusions, and recommendations.

  • Data are electronically transferred from portable devices to a desktop workstation for processing.
  • Annual data transfer to a corporate mainframe computer ensures centralized data management.

    • Main Results:

    • The HHIM software facilitates the electronic documentation and management of occupational exposure data.
    • Users can generate both standard and customized reports in hard copy or electronic formats.
    • The system provides a robust template for managing and standardizing occupational exposure information.

    Conclusions:

    • The Health Hazard Information Module (HHIM) software effectively utilizes automated information systems to enhance industrial hygiene programs.
    • The software serves as a valuable template for international efforts to standardize occupational exposure data.
    • Future plans include wider distribution to other Department of Defense agencies and commercial availability.
