TEMPEST - A Task Exposure Matrix for Pesticides

Construction of TEMPEST - Stage 2

Expand on Stage 1 to develop comprehensive list of tasks involving pesticide use in Scotland

The information from stage 1 was then supplemented by the researchers by adding additional tasks that would have exposed those doing them to pesticides (but not actually encountered in the earlier study). A final list of 81 tasks, in eight main task groups was produced. The table 2a below shows the task groups.
