✦ Synopsis

As an engineer practicing in the area qf engineering controls f . r the reduction of occupational exposures to hazardous agents, the Intervention Research Workshop studies appeured to be effective,for the studied situations, yet the models may not be applicable across a wide range of intenlention possibilities. A more generic model might be more appropriate, perhrcps a business model. Dr, W, Edwards Deming has proposed a model for the production of goods and services. If we can view interventions as products which need to be sold to potential customers, perhaps this lype qf model would be more effective across a wide range of ititewerition strategies. 0 I906 Wile.-Llss.
