Complete this section for all verified employment. Any breaks in employment seven days or more must be reported separately. Create another table by using copy, paste; remember to leave a space between them.

Remember that the verified employment may extend beyond the covered employment at a particular site. The CE must verify the covered dates for a site by going to the DOE Office of Worker Advocacy Covered Facility List (http://www.hss.energy.gov/healthsafety/fwsp/advocacy/faclist/findfacility.cfm).

Other information relevant to dose reconstruction

For skin cancer and lung cancer cases additional information regarding the following must be provided.

 

a

Ethnicity selection

For skin cancers, it is required that the District Office supply NIOSH with the EEs race/ethnicity. The method used to gather this information is EE/EN-9. If the claimant does not return the questionnaire within 60 days, the case will be administratively closed. However, if the CE can obtain the information from the EE’s medical information or other credible source (i.e., DAR), the NRSD may be completed using that information and forwarded to NIOSH with an explanation of where the information was acquired.

 

b

Smoking History

For lung cancer or a secondary cancer with an unknown primary cancer that includes lung cancer as a possible primary cancer, the CE must request the EEs smoking history using the EE/EN-8. If the claimant does not return the questionnaire within 60 days, the case will be administratively closed. However, if the CE can obtain the information from the EE’s medical information or other credible source (i.e., DAR), the NRSD may be completed using that information and forwarded to NIOSH with an explanation of where the information was acquired. If the employee is a current smoker (currently refers to time of cancer diagnosis), then the CE must select an additional box, which indicates the amount (per day) the employee smoked at the time of cancer diagnosis.
