DataPipe helps bring efficiency to your
industrial hygiene and safety program. It covers a broad
range of IH and safety topics (including workplace safety
and safety training), and allows you to select modules
that fit your unique requirements whether you're doing
safety audits, tracking airborne chemical hazards, noise
exposures or much more. Review our comprehensive
list below with descriptions to see which modules you
require for your specific IH&S system.
Log when and why employees are absent from
work including expected and actual return dates. May be
used with Injury & Illness to link an Absence to an Injury
& Illness case (and also to a Clinic Visit, Progress Note,
Treatment Plan and/or Workers' Compensation claim related
to that Injury & Illness case, if these Modules are
present), but does not require the Injury & Illness
Module.
A "mini-MSDS" used by several other
modules. Once in a system, it is shared by all other
referencing modules; it is not licensed again for each.
Required by MSDS and several Industrial Hygiene and
Environment Modules such as MSDS, MSDS Generation,
Hazardous Chemical Inventory, Spills & Releases.
Identifies location, date, time, etc. of
spill or releases plus agents, amounts and other
information. May be used with General Incidents to link
multiple sub-incidents together. Requires the General
Incidents Module and Agent Parameters Module.
Refer to other module(s). Identify sites,
equipment containing asbestos; type and percent. Log
removal projects, personnel working on project, permit,
responsible persons, amount removed, disposal manifest.
Not intended for shipping. USE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
ABATEMENT Module

keep updated from the published data - This is not part of
yearly DataPipe maintenance.

members, dates and times, evacuations, injuries, spills
and releases, follow-up. Displays summary data from other
forms if available. Requires General Incidents module.
Record detailed information about equipment
like location, costs, related activities (inspections,
repairs, incidents, etc.) history, documents, and notes.
Equipment can be any piece of hardware such as machinery,
production lines, control devices, instruments, etc.). The
presence of this module allows referencing equipment from
other modules like Incidents, General.

and other incident information. Based on NFPA 902 Basic
Fire Incident. A sub-incident that may be linked to a
General Incident. May be used with General Incidents to
link multiple sub-incidents together. Requires General
Incidents module.

Information on the location and quantity of
hazardous materials (e.g., asbestos, lead paint, etc.) and
then information (quantity, permit, personnel, manifest
no., dates, etc.) on abatement projects to remove the
materials. Replaces “Asbestos Module” by expanding to all
“hazmats” in general.
Quantity, description and value of damaged
or destroyed materials or property associated with an
event. A sub-incident. Also called Loss Property and
Material. May be used with General Incidents to link
multiple sub-incidents together. Requires the Incidents,
General Module.
A general purpose module for logging
"events"; what, where and when, cost, employees, other
personnel, etc. Includes near misses. May also tie
together multiple "sub-incidents." Some sub-incidents
require this module; see each for details.
Information on monitored CO, CO2, humidity
and temperatures measured during a study. Records min.,
max. and average levels during both overall test and
actual exposure hours.
Personal, area, & blanks; timed and "spot"
(direct reading) measurements. Automatic flow and volume
calculation, lookup and comparison of results to limits.
Calculation of composite exposure. Combination of multiple
samples and times for multi-sample TWA. May be used with
General Incidents to link multiple sub-incidents together,
but does not require the Incidents, General Module. May
also be used with Equipment, Personal Protection
Equipment, and/or Job Profiles, but does not require any
of these Modules. Requires Agent Parameters Module.

to link multiple sub-incidents together, but does not
require the Incidents, General Module.
Physical requirements (ADA) Training,
personal protective equipment, agent exposures, medical
tests, etc. for facility, area, building, department
and/or job. May require the Training, Personal Protection
Equipment, and/or Agent Parameters Module for some
specific uses, however these modules are not required for
general use of the job profiles module.
ACGIH method for ergonomically assessing lifting tasks. Can record and document a current condition or evaluate a proposed task. Calculates the lifting TLV and compares to actual conditions.
