| dc.description.abstract | The scope of this thesis project entailed the development of a computer program to serve as a tool for professionals and for students in the occupational health, safety, and industrial hygiene fields. The purpose of the project was the development of a professionally and academically viable program for Windows95 (R) and WindowsNT" that would serve to save time, money, and effort while improving the accuracy of those working and/or learning in the fields of occupational health, industrial hygiene, and safety. No comparably comprehensive program of this nature had yet been available at the beginning of this project. The procedure of this project involved researching the formulae that would prove useful for the safety professional, and following a design process for the program that was in part stipulated by the nature of the programming environment (Visual C++ 4.00, Win32) and in part stipulated by the desired result. The finished program, Threshold Exposure Assistant TM (TEAT TM), performs the majority of physical and chemical calculations used in the field of industrial hygiene and safety in addition to maintaining full compatibility with MS Excel (R), Quatro Proo, MS Access (R), and most other widely available spreadsheet and database programs for the Windows environment. Additionally, it can save data in text based format, allowing access from Dose based programs. Applicability of Threshold Exposure assistant TM pertains directly to the fields of industrial hygiene, occupational safety, and health since TEA TM assists both professionals and students by providing a tool for calculation, data analysis, and report generating. | en |
