Why H&S publishes these records
Historical exposure questions often begin with an incomplete memory: a plant, department, boiler, contractor, job title, or approximate year. Primary records can help test those memories without forcing them into a predetermined conclusion.
Each guide starts with reliable public records and then identifies the work-history details most likely to make those records useful to a person-specific investigation.
