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.

描述（由申请人提供）：项目摘要此事件安全与健康（OS＆H）培训计划的具体目的是为四个不同学术部门的硕士级研究生提供有效的多学科培训OS和H的经验，以显着增强和增加纽约西部（WNY）OS和H实践者的培训，实践培训和研究经验，以增加纽约西部（WNY）。该计划将为受训者提供OS＆H的集中度，同时从纽约大学布法罗大学的大学工业与系统工程，社会和预防医学，康复科学与药理学与毒理学获得研究生学位。来自部门的学员在职业安全和健康，工业卫生和流行病学方面完成了相同的3个必需的核心课程，以及通过大学的毒理学研究中心内的大西洋OSHA培训中心，在OS＆H标准中进行的为期4天培训课程所需的4天培训课程。此外，来自所有学科的学员参加了期刊俱乐部并参加安全专业会议。调查，课程等级和职业跟踪用于评估该计划的有效性。拟议的培训计划的优势是：1。它教授了预防伤害，流行病学和工业卫生的核心能力，该计划在WNY 2中没有提供的新教育计划中。参与该计划的MS学生来自多个部门，以更好地反映WNY中OS＆H从业者的全部背景多样性。 3。它利用现有的课程工作以及具有OS＆H既定记录的高质量研究生级课程。 4。该计划的跨学科性质使学员可以一起学习，以便获得应对当今OS＆H挑战所需的知识的广度。 5。学期长期课程，OSHA培训课程，期刊俱乐部以及与OS＆H专业人员进行互动的各种教育方法提供了独特的学习机会，旨在鼓励学员的入学和保留。 6.通过参与部门的教师之间的现有教学和研究合作，可以确保培训保持凝聚力。 7.受训者通过与已经建立的行业和专业安全组织的合作伙伴关系获得OS＆H现场经验。 8.毕业生在研究和实践方面都接受了良好的教育，并且已经做好了充分的准备，以致力于CareerAsAcsp¿1/2orlh/cih相关性WNY在制造业，农业和服务相关的行业方面具有重要的劳动力，这些行业具有很高的伤害和疾病，但很少有机会在该地区购买OS和H的研究生教育的人很少有机会。该培训计划专门旨在增强专业知识并增加WNY中合格的OS＆H专业人员的库，以便更充分地保护其劳动力。
