Appalachian Training Program in Occupational Health and Safety

阿巴拉契亚职业健康与安全培训计划 项目摘要 西弗吉尼亚州阿巴拉契亚职业健康与安全培训计划 大学(WVU)服务于提供合格的职业健康和安全的迫切需求 我们州和地区的专业人员。我们的具体目标是一个实际的目标：培养专业人才 了解危险工作场所并准备在“一线”工作 在农村地区预防、减轻和管理工作场所伤害和疾病。我们 强调招聘和培训毕业生，他们将承诺留在 阿巴拉契亚地区。阿巴拉契亚职业健康与安全培训计划 提供工业卫生学(IH)硕士和博士级别的培训 职业安全与健康工程(OSHE)课程和职业安全与健康工程 医生实习医生(OMR)。虽然这不是教育和研究 中心(ERC)，它是仅有的三个由NIOSH支持的培训项目赠款之一，提供 程序。OMR自1988年以来一直得到NIOSH的支持，自1980年以来一直是IH计划 以及自2005年以来的职业安全与健康计划。 很难夸大这些项目对阿巴拉契亚地区的重要性，这是由 阿巴拉契亚地区委员会，面积20.5万平方英里，约有2500万人 人们从纽约南部延伸到密西西比州北部。这是世界上唯一的OMR 整个地区，而且只有另外两个由NIOSH支持的项目在IH提供培训 还有OSHE。这些计划不仅服务于地区对合格职业的关键需求 健康和安全专业人员，但这笔赠款有助于将基于 本杰明·M·斯塔特勒工程与矿产资源学院与罗伯特·C。 伯德健康科学中心(HSC)，并形成围绕其开展更大活动的核心 建立，例如更广泛的教育推广、研究、临床服务、工作场所评估和 控制努力，以及国家/国际教师的招聘和留用。所有三个项目 不仅受益于一所大型赠与土地的大学的资源，而且与 NIOSH-摩根敦的所有三个部门，目前是该国唯一的此类设施 在一所大学校园里，毗邻HSC。

Appalachian Training Program in Occupational Health and Safety Project Summary The Appalachian Training Program in Occupational Health and Safety at West Virginia University (WVU) serves a critical need to supply qualified occupational health and safety professionals for our state and region. Our specific goal is a practical one: to train professionals who understand hazardous workplaces and who are prepared to serve in a “front-line” capacity to prevent, mitigate, and manage workplace injuries and disease in a rural context. We emphasize the recruitment and training of graduates who will be committed to remain within the Appalachian region. The Appalachian Training Program in Occupational Health and Safety provides Master's level training in Industrial Hygiene (IH), both Master's and Doctoral-level programs in Occupational Safety and Health Engineering (OSHE), and an Occupational Medicine Residency (OMR) for physicians. Although this is not an Education and Research Center (ERC), it is one of only three NIOSH-supported Training Project Grants to offer multiple programs. The OMR has been supported by NIOSH since 1988, the IH program since 1980 and the OSHE program since 2005. It is difficult to overstate the importance of these programs to Appalachia, defined by the Appalachian Regional Commission as a 205,000 square-mile area with approximately 25 million people extending from southern New York to northern Mississippi. This is the only OMR in the entire region, and there are only two other NIOSH-supported programs providing training in IH and OSHE. Not only do these programs serve critical regional needs for qualified occupational health and safety professionals, but this grant helps connect programs based within the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources to those of the Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center (HSC) and form the nucleus around which larger activities are built, such as broader educational outreach, research, clinical service, workplace evaluation and control efforts, and national/international faculty recruitment and retention. All three programs benefit not only from the resources of a large, land-grant university but a close relationship with all three Divisions of NIOSH-Morgantown, currently the only such facility in the country located on a university campus and adjacent to the HSC.
