An ‘Exposure to Risk’ Register

The value of compiling a ‘register’ of an individual's total exposure to (occupational) environmental factors—so that the harmful effect of any such factor could ve recognised from the reference point of its overt consequences, mainly disease of injury—is unquestioned; the practical difficulties, however, are formidable and have appeared to most to be insurmountable on anything but a modest scale. The rapid development of electronic methods of data recording and prcessing, and the technical advanced in linkage of medical and other records has led the Research Panel to consider the problems and bring their views before the Society.

This memorandum is in two parts: Part I introduces the problem of ‘exposure to risk’ in industry and deals mainly with theoretical considerations on the value and possible uses to which relevant records could be put; Part II deals mainly with the practical problems of compiling such records in the industrial situation and sets out conclusions and recommendations.
