Exposure Data Sample Clauses
Exposure Data. The Ceding Insurer has provided to the Reinsurer and the Modeling Agent exposure data as of February 28, 2014 concerning the Policies in-force in respect of the Subject Business (“Initial Exposure Data”) and the Ceding Insurer’s best estimate of growth of Policies in-force in respect of the Subject Business as projected to August 31, 2014 (“Initial Projected Exposure Data”). The Ceding Insurer will provide updated exposure data as of March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016 (each, a “Calculation Date”) (“Updated Exposure Data” along with and when referred to along with the Initial Exposure Data, “Exposure Data”) and updated projected exposure data and/or a measure of expected exposure growth to August 31 of the applicable year (“Updated Projected Exposure Data”, and when referred to along with the Initial Projected Exposure Data, “Projected Exposure Data”) to the Reinsurer and the Reset Agent no later than the April 15 immediately following each Calculation Date in conformity with the Initial Exposure Data and Initial Projected Exposure Data. The Ceding Insurer will also provide a list of the states to be included in the Covered Area for the next Annual Risk Period. Upon receipt of Updated Exposure Data and Updated Projected Exposure Data, the Reset Agent will perform the Data Review Procedures.
Exposure Data database of results of air sampling per- formed at PNS supported the development of the numeric values for the asbestos intensity categories. This database was constructed from industrial hy- giene records of air sampling results from the 1940s to the 1990s collected from the shipyard. The database contained 2558 asbestos, but few chro- mium, nickel and iron oxide in welding fume sample results. Because air sampling at the shipyard was com- plaint based up until the mid-1970s, and then compliance-driven, samples were not collected sys- tematically to fully portray exposures at the shipyard. Much of the sampling occurred in the 1980s and 1990s, a job title was rarely associated with an air sample, and only four shops were sampled before 1975. NIOSH conducted independent air sampling at PNS in 1979 and 1980 that included 89 asbestos samples. All but nine were area samples representing a few shops. Personal samples were associated with a job-coding scheme that could not be related to the job titles found in employment histories. It was concluded that these two sources of air sampling data were not distributed sufficiently among job titles, shops or time periods to directly contribute to this exposure assessment. Over 500 original shipyard documents containing information about processes, controls, respirator use, ventilation and work practices that could impact ex- posures across time at the shipyard were compiled in- to a third database. Two timelines and a summary of this information, not initially provided to the panel- ists for their independent assessments, were later used to support the consensus process. Exposure intensity was defined as the time- weighted exposure for an 8-h workday. For asbestos, four ‘exposed’ categories were developed using 915 PNS asbestos air sample results (sample time .6 h). Most of the results (n 5 852) were below the limit of detection of 0.004 fibers cc—1 (f cc—1); the remain- ing 63 samples ranged from 0.004 to 25.0 f cc—1. Quartiles of the 63 samples (0.35, 1.0 and 3.0 f cc—1) were used as boundaries for the four categories and the arithmetic means of all 915 samples within the quartiles were used for the asbestos exposure intensi- ties (Table 1). A fifth exposure category representing background was developed from information in the documents database suggesting that ambient air lev- els prior to the late 1970s were higher at the shipyard because of lacking or ineffective ventilation.
