Building Occupational Health Prospect Lists

When compiling prospect data from OSHA establishment databases (CSV), FMCSA carrier databases (CSV, HTML), workers compensation databases (CSV), manufacturing directories (HTML), construction project databases (CSV), business licence databases (CSV, HTML), chamber of commerce directories (HTML), industry association directories (SHRM, NSC -- HTML) and LinkedIn research, upload the files to Email Extractor to extract and deduplicate email addresses across all sources. HR directors, safety managers and operations directors appear across OSHA databases, industry directories, association memberships and professional networks, so deduplication prevents contacting the same employer decision maker through overlapping outreach campaigns.
