 A Message from Dr. Eileen Bonner
Welcome to the Rohm and Haas Spring House Study
Website.
The issue of brain cancer is a serious
one. As a physician, an employee at the Spring
House site, and the company’s Delaware Valley regional
health director, I speak for all Rohm and Haas
employees when I say that our sympathies go to
the families and colleagues of those employees
diagnosed with brain cancer or any serious illness.
This study is part of our commitment to employee
health and safety to understand and address potential
workplace safety and health issues. The Website
is set up to communicate the progress and background
of the Spring House study.
Now a subsidiary of The
Dow Chemical Company, Rohm and Haas continues to
employ rigorous safeguards, practices, and monitoring
procedures to protect the health and safety of
employees. These practices, including hazard assessment,
accident/exposure record-keeping, hazard correction
training and other identification, monitoring and
industrial hygiene programs, are now being supplemented
by and integrated into Dow’s health management
systems and processes.
I hope this information
is helpful to you. If you have additional questions,
please contact us at Rohm and Haas, at the links
noted throughout this site.
Eileen Bonner, M.D.,
M.P.H.
Regional Health Director
