DESCRIPTION (Provided by Applicant): Project Summary The specific aim of this occupational safety and health (OS&H) training program is to provide an effective multidisciplinary training OS&H experience for Master's level graduate students of four different academic departments in order to significantly strengthen and increase the pool of Western New York (WNY) OS&H practitioners through coursework, practical training and research experiences. The program will provide trainees with a concentration in OS&H while obtaining a graduate degree from the Departments of Industrial & Systems Engineering, Social and Preventive Medicine, Rehabilitation Science and Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University at Buffalo, SUNY. Trainees from the Departments complete the same 3 required core courses in Occupational Safety and Health, Industrial Hygiene, and Epidemiology, as well as a required 4-day training course in OS&H standards through the University's Atlantic OSHA Training Center within the Toxicology Research Center. Additionally, trainees from all disciplines participate in a journal club and attend safety professional meetings. Surveys, course grades and career tracking are used to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. Advantages of the proposed training program are that: 1. It teaches core competencies in injury prevention, epidemiology and industrial hygiene in a new educational program not offered anywhere else in WNY 2. The MS students who participate in the program come from multiple departments to better reflect the full diversity of backgrounds of OS&H practitioners in WNY. 3. It leverages existing coursework and from high quality graduate level programs that have an established track record of OS&H. 4. The interdisciplinary nature of the program allows trainees to learn together in order to gain the breadth of knowledge necessary to address today's OS&H challenges. 5. A variety of educational approaches used in the semester long courses, OSHA training course, journal club, and interacting with OS&H professionals provide a unique learning opportunity designed to encourage enrollment and retention among trainees. 6. Training is ensured to remain cohesive through existing teaching and research collaborations between faculty in the participating departments. 7. Trainees acquire OS&H field experiences through partnerships with industry and professional safety organizations that have already been established. 8. Graduates are well educated in both research and practice, and are sufficiently prepared to work towards a careerasaCSP¿1/2orlH/CIH Relevance WNY has significant workforces in manufacturing, agricultural and service-related industries that have high rates of injuries and illness but very few opportunities exist for individuals who want to pursue graduate education in OS&H in this region of the country. This training program is designed specifically to strengthen the expertise and increase the pool of qualified OS&H professionals in WNY in order to more adequately protect its workforces.

项目简介(申请人提供)：项目概述这一职业安全与健康(OS&H)培训计划的具体目标是为四个不同学术部门的硕士研究生提供有效的多学科培训OS&H经验，以便通过课程学习、实践培训和研究经验显著加强和增加纽约西部(WNY)OS&H从业者的队伍。该计划将为学员提供OS&H专业，同时获得纽约州立大学布法罗大学工业与系统工程系、社会与预防医学系、康复科学与药理学以及毒理学系的研究生学位。这些部门的学员通过毒理学研究中心的大西洋职业安全与健康培训中心，完成职业安全与健康、工业卫生和流行病学的3门必修核心课程，以及为期4天的OS&H标准必修培训课程。此外，来自所有学科的受训人员参加一个日志俱乐部，并参加安全专业会议。调查、课程评分和职业跟踪被用来评估该计划的有效性。建议的培训计划的优势是：1.它在一个新的教育计划中教授伤害预防、流行病学和工业卫生方面的核心能力，这是WNY其他任何地方都没有的。参加该计划的MS学生来自多个系，以更好地反映WNY OS&H从业者的全部背景。3.它利用现有的课程和高质量的研究生水平的课程，这些课程在OS&H方面有既定的记录。4.该课程的跨学科性质允许学员一起学习，以获得应对当今OS&H挑战所需的知识广度。5.在整个学期的课程、职业安全与健康培训课程、期刊俱乐部以及与职业安全与健康专业人员的互动中使用的各种教育方法提供了一个独特的学习机会，旨在鼓励学员入学和留住。6.通过参与部门的教员之间现有的教学和研究合作，确保培训保持凝聚力。7.受训人员通过与已经建立的行业和专业安全组织建立伙伴关系，获得OS&H实地经验。8.毕业生在研究和实践方面都受过良好的教育，并为从事职业做好了充分的准备纽约州在制造业、农业和与服务相关的行业有大量劳动力，这些行业的伤亡率和患病率很高，但想要在这个地区接受OS&H研究生教育的个人机会很少。该培训计划是专门为加强WNY的专业知识和增加合格的OS&H专业人员而设计的，以便更好地保护其员工。
