The 2004 DOE Industrial Hygiene Award, also known as
the Don Ross Award, was presented to Roger D. Mitchell,
CIH, CSP, of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
(PNNL), by Paul Kruger, Manager, Pacific Northwest Site
Office, and Robe Enge, PNNL Director of Environment,
Safety, Health and Quality.
Mr. Mitchell was recognized for his outstanding contributions
to the industrial hygiene field, including the development
and implementation of an integrated biological safety
program at the PNNL. This program contributes significantly
to worker health and safety by providing an efficient
system to identify, evaluate, and control risks associated
with biological etiologic agents.
The Industrial Hygiene Award was established by the
Department of Energy (DOE) Industrial Hygiene Coordinating
Committee (IHCC) to acknowledge exceptional service
and contributions to DOE industrial hygiene programs.
The award, presented annually by the IHCC, is known
informally as the “Don Ross Award” in honor of Dr. Ross'
pioneering work and lifetime accomplishments during
his career with the AEC and DOE, and being the award’s
first recipient.
Eligibility for the award is open to all current and
former DOE and DOE contractor employees engaged in the
practice of industrial hygiene or allied occupational
health professions. A description of the DOE Industrial
Hygiene Award and nomination process are available on
the web at: http://www.hss.doe.gov/HealthSafety/WSHP/ihcc/.
