expoquimR: Qualitative and Quantitative Assessment of Occupational Chemical Exposure Risk

Provides a unified toolkit for occupational chemical exposure risk assessment, implementing three internationally recognised methods end to end: the qualitative control-banding methods COSHH Essentials (UK Health and Safety Executive) and the method of the French National Research and Safety Institute (INRS), together with the quantitative statistical procedure of the UNE-EN 689 standard for comparing measured exposure levels against occupational exposure limits. Every step of each method, from hazard banding and exposure scoring to lognormal or normal distribution fitting, one-sided tolerance limits, and monitoring-interval recommendations, is implemented as a small, independently callable, and unit-tested function, so assessments are reproducible and auditable without depending on any graphical interface. Optional 'shiny' applications provide a guided, interactive workflow for occupational hygienists and health and safety practitioners who prefer not to write code.
