The effectiveness of industrial hygiene data management systems varies from system to system and organization to organization. Overall effectiveness and efficiency of data management systems vary significantly based upon pre-existing paradigms of value, overall complexity of use, and designed system output as related to corporate vision, mission, and values. This roundtable discussion will examine industrial hygiene information management system design, development, and end-use
considerations from practical real-world case studies from implemented data management systems. It is intended for those interested in, and those planning to develop, industrial hygiene data management applications.
