Impact (global or regional)	China
Progress on Project	Training information collected 1 review paper published in Chinese science journal Partners identified 2 factories agreed to take part in the program Related books and CD available to partners
List of major outcomes already achieved by this project	Integrated with our research activities, we provide 8 factories with consultative service to help them setting up the suitable and cheap engineering measures against lead hazards and ergonomics problem in the process of storage battery production. We help the owner to re-organize the flow-chat. The lead pollution is significantly controlled. From such work, we noted that the knowledge of owner is very important; sometimes they do not know how to control the hazards in cheap way, particularly in the early stage when they do not want to put much money in this area. In China, the role of occupational health service agencies is not completely demonstrated.
List of additional major outcomes expected from this project by 2012	The experiences on control of lad hazards with suitable engineering measures and reasonable organization can be summarized, demonstrated and spread among small scale industrials in China.
