IH DIG – Industrial Hygiene Data Interpretation Game

door | dec 22, 2011 | Apps

IH DIG (Industrial Hygiene Data Interpretation Game) is a game which illustrates the need for industrial hygienists to use statistical tools EVERY TIME they interpret sampling data.  Studies in professional judgment show that expertise is best developed through focused training with instant feedback.  The IH DIG is a fun app to help Exposure Assessors train their unconscious data interpretation algorithms to better match a Bayesian Likelihood analysis. 
Each game consists of 20 datasets ranging from 1-8 samples each.  Players must first review the dataset’s OEL (Occupational Exposure Limit), the displayed sampling data and then choose the AIHA category where the 95th percentile MOST LIKELY falls into.  Positive points will be given for correct answers and negative points will be given for incorrect answers.  The faster a correct answer is given, the more positive points are given.  There are no point differences by time for incorrect answers.
A “Super IH” can interpret data more quickly and accurately than a “Dart Throwing Monkey”.   See how quickly you can consistently rate as a “Super IH”!

In order to assist employers in reducing the risk of lifting-related injuries, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) developed a lifting equation designed to determine the safety of lifting tasks. The NIOSH lifting equation is one of important tools used in a comprehensive effort to prevent injuries.
Upon entering the necessary information, this app can determine if the lifting task is safe or if changes are needed. Please be aware that the NIOSH lifting equation is designed only for two-handed manual lifting tasks and there are situations where the NIOSH lifting equation does not apply.
Please be aware that this app is developed only for demonstration and didactic purposes, and it is not a substitute of a complete ergonomic evaluation of experienced consultants.

Safety Smart Apps are the world’s first industry-specific health and safety apps for the iPhone, iPad and iTouch platforms and proud winners of the inaugural Health and Safety Executive and Institution of Occupational Safety and Health Innovation in safety – small business award.
The competition was judged by the founder of the award, HSE’s Judith Donovan CBE, as well as the HSE’s Regional Director for the Midlands, Rosi Edwards; IOSH Immediate Past President, John Holden; and IOSH Vice President, John Lacey.
About the winning entry, Judith said:
“Our winner was a clear winner, because it was a highly innovative technical solution to create a health and safety app to go on the iPhone/iPad.
John Holden added:
“The winner stood out for me because it was piece of technology young people would use. Young people we know are particularly at risk in the workplace, so anything that gets them on board in the workplace has got to be a plus.”
The Safety Smart Shelf provides users with industry specific, up to date and simplified Health and Safety information. Taking into account current legislation, typical hazards and controls, risk assessment, accident and near miss reporting this app is a must for everyone working within industry.
