Create a Custom Database
14AIHCE--"Prevention. . ." (May, 2000)
The Database Is
• To be a usable tool by multiple levels of professionals
• To enhance and exploit experience information
• To plug information gaps associated with regulatory data alone
15AIHCE--"Prevention. . ." (May, 2000)
The Database Is NOT
• A substitute for extant database software (e.g., Cameo, etc.)
• A sole source of hazard information
• A dose assessment methodology
16AIHCE--"Prevention. . ." (May, 2000)
Database Details
• Access 97 • All data are linked
by site name and address
• Users defining reports
• Flags regulatory data as available
17AIHCE--"Prevention. . ." (May, 2000)
Next Actions
• Funding • Database name• Initial field roll-out• Fields and tables
18AIHCE--"Prevention. . ." (May, 2000)
Conclusions• Creation of a database can bring
together disparate information critical to hazard management
• The IH process (Recognition=>Evaluation=>Control) is a usable framework in a community hazard prevention role
