Project Background

An office of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health [NIOSH] was given a mandate from the U.S. Congress and the Centers for Disease Control to implement a program of compensation for employees of atomic weapons manufacturers as well as individuals employed in various nuclear energy-related jobs. ATL teamed with several companies selected to provide support to NIOSH in this effort. My initial charter as a staff member of ATL was to devise an Information Systems Quality Assurance Plan to promote processes and procedures for their utility in identifying vulnerabilities in data quality and to assure that data and calculations were accurately maintained in the project’s data repositories.
