Proceedings from the 1998 Occupational Health Conference: Benchmarking for Excellence

The theme of the 1998 NASA Occupational Health Conference was "Benchmarking for Excellence." Conference participants included NASA and contractor Occupational Health professionals, as well as speakers from NASA, other Federal agencies and private companies. Addressing the Conference theme, speakers described new concepts and techniques for corporate benchmarking. They also identified practices used by NASA, other Federal agencies, and by award winning programs in private industry. A two-part Professional Development Course on workplace toxicology and indoor air quality was conducted a day before the Conference. A program manager with the International Space Station Office provided an update on station activities and an expert delivered practical advice on both oral and written communications. A keynote address on the medical aspects of space walking by a retired NASA astronaut highlighted the Conference. Discipline breakout sessions, poster presentations, and a KSC tour complemented the Conference agenda.

STS-101 / Atlantis EVA briefing

The primary mission objective for STS-101 was to deliver supplies to the International Space Station, perform a space walk, and reboost the station from 230 statute miles to 250 statute miles. The commander of this mission was James D. Halsell. The crew was Scott J. Horowitz, the pilot, and mission specialists Mary Ellen Weber, Jeffrey N. Williams, James S. Voss, Susan J. Helms, and Yuri Vladimirovich Usachev. This videotape is a press briefing by Scott Bleisath, STS-101 Lead EVA Officer, about the planned Extravehicular Activity planned for the fourth day of the mission. The work that this EVA is to accomplish is the repair of a crane and the installation of a beam on Unity. The astronauts will also replace antennae and install hand rails and cables. The astronauts who are scheduled to perform the EVA activities are Williams and Voss. They will be assisted by Weber, who will operate the Shuttle's robotic arm, and Scott Horowitz. The spacewalk is scheduled to take 6 hours. The videotape includes some views of the astronauts training in an underwater environment. Mr. Bleisath answered questions from the press after he completed the briefing.
