Abstract In The Netherlands, the web-based tool called 'Stoffenmanager'was initially
developed to assist small-and medium-sized enterprises to prioritize and control risks of
handling chemical products in their workplaces. The aim of the present study was to explore
the accuracy of the Stoffenmanager exposure algorithm. This was done by comparing its
semi-quantitative exposure rankings for specific substances with exposure measurements
collected from several occupational settings to derive a quantitative exposure algorithm …

In the Netherlands, the web-based tool called “Stoffenmanager” was initially developed to
assist SMEs to prioritize and control risks of handling chemical products in their workplaces.
The rationale of the underlying exposure algorithm is based on work of Cherrie and
colleagues but is adapted in several ways. The aim of the present study was to explore the
accuracy of the Stoffenmanager exposure algorithm. This was done by comparing its semi
quantitative exposure rankings for specific substances with exposure measurements …
