Occupational Safety and Health Training Grant

摘要 工业卫生员和其他职业安全与健康(OSH)在解决 职业健康危害。然而，对训练有素的职业安全和健康专业人员的需求尚未得到满足；这种需求 对于工业卫生员来说更是如此。与此同时，工人健康是印第安纳州的一个重大问题，在那里 与工作场所有关的伤害和死亡率一直高于全国平均水平。《普渡》 大学职业和环境健康科学(OEHS)计划将通过以下方式满足这一需求 培养下一代工业卫生员。该课程包括OEHS的博士、硕士和理学士学位； 工商管理硕士和理工科硕士课程在工业卫生方面得到了更好的认可。自2017年以来，该项目的教职员工和学生 获得了1亿美元的外部资金，发表了35篇同行评议的期刊文章，其中70篇 研究报告，并获得&gt；30荣誉或奖励，以表彰他们的研究、教学和 服务。教师以在工业领域的研究和教学方面的卓越表现而闻名。 卫生学、职业安全与健康、环境健康、接触科学、职业毒理学、 辐射健康与安全，以及职业流行病学。我们课程的必修课程包括 安全和道德、暴露评估、物理制剂、工业卫生测量和仪器仪表， 安全工程、人体工程学、通风、毒理学、流行病学、环境健康、风险评估 和统计数据。核心课程利用学生活动，强调批判性思维、沟通、 团队合作精神、创造力和对当前问题的认识。最近开发的课程还包括 基于服务或基于案例研究的学习方法。项目实习生有多种互动机会 在印第安纳波利斯西拉斐特举行的一次网络活动上，与工业卫生和职业安全卫生专业人士进行了交流， 芝加哥，甚至更远的地方。教职员工和学生开展与职业暴露相关的获奖研究 以及锰和其他金属的影响；导致环境差异的工业污染； 气雾剂的特性和风险评估；以及辐射健康和安全。OHS计划也是如此 作为普渡大学，重视多样性、公平和包容性(DEI)，并寻求纳入这些原则 贯穿于项目的各个方面。这些努力将体现在扩大招聘努力以达到 具有不同背景和经验的教职员工和实习生；促进专业发展 使每个受训人员能够充分发挥其潜力的方案和资源；并认识到 重视工业卫生的做法将是至关重要的，以解决面临的危险 劳动力日益多样化。普渡大学OEHS计划的成功证明了这一计划的事实 毕业生在工业卫生及相关领域担任领导职务。通过结合过去的经验 为了适应未来的需求，普渡OHS计划将继续培训未来的领导者 工业卫生和职业卫生。

SUMMARY Industrial hygienists and other occupational safety and health (OSH) play a critical role in addressing occupational health hazards. However, there is an unmet need for highly trained OSH professionals; this need is even greater for industrial hygienists. Meanwhile, worker health is a substantial issue within Indiana, where workplace related injury and fatality rates are consistently higher than the national average. The Purdue University Occupational and Environmental Health Sciences (OEHS) program will address this need through training the next generation of industrial hygienists. This program includes PhD, MS, and BS degrees in OEHS; the BS and MS programs are ABET accredited in industrial hygiene. Since 2017, program faculty and students have received >$100 million in external funding, published more >35 peer reviewed journal articles, given >70 research presentations, and received >30 honors or awards in recognition of their research, teaching, and service. Faculty are noted for their excellence in both research and teaching within the areas of industrial hygiene, occupational safety and health, environmental health, exposure science, occupational toxicology, radiation health and safety, and occupational epidemiology. Required coursework for our programs includes safety and ethics, exposure assessment, physical agents, industrial hygiene measurements and instrumentation, safety engineering, ergonomics, ventilation, toxicology, epidemiology, environmental health, risk assessment and statistics. The core curriculum utilizes student activities that emphasize critical thinking, communications, teamwork, creativity and awareness of current issues. Recently developed courses additionally incorporate service-based or case-study based learning approaches. Program trainees have multiple opportunities to interact with industrial hygiene and OSH professionals at a networking events held in West Lafayette, Indianapolis, Chicago, and beyond. Faculty and students conduct award-winning research related to occupational exposure and impacts of manganese and other metals; industrial contamination leading to environmental disparities; characterization and risk assessment of aerosols; and radiation health and safety. The OEHS program, as well as Purdue University, value diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and seeks to incorporate these principles throughout every aspect of the program. These efforts will be reflected in broadening recruitment efforts to reach faculty and trainees with a variety of backgrounds and experience; promotion of professional development programs and resources to enable every trainee to reach their full potential; and recognition that application of DEI values to the practice of industrial hygiene will be essential in order to address the hazards faced by an increasingly diverse workforce. The success of Purdue’s OEHS program is evidenced by the fact that program graduates have taken leadership roles in industrial hygiene and related fields. By combining past experience and adapting to future needs, the Purdue OEHS program will continue to train tomorrow’s leaders in the field of industrial hygiene and occupational health.
