PROJECT SUMMARY The Occupational Safety and Health Training Program at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center's School of Public Health (TAMHSC SPH) delivers focused training in occupational safety and health, with available concentrations in safety, health, and ergonomics for masters level MPH students. Students completing the program possess knowledge and skills in the general concepts of developing problems and solutions with cost/benefit analysis related to occupational safety and health/wellness, ergonomics, industrial hygiene, occupational disease, human anatomy, user-computer interaction, displays and controls, information processing, industrial process safety, epidemiology, vibration control, and statistics. The Occupational Safety and Health program at TAMHSC SPH has a long history of producing highly qualified safety practitioners. The success of the program is demonstrated by the aggressive recruitment of TAMHSC SPH graduates by industry, healthcare, academia, and governmental agencies. Originally established in the TAMU College of Engineering through the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) ―Ergonomics Training Grant from 1995-2003, the program and course faculty transferred to TAMHSC SPH in 2002. The primary strengths of the TAMHSC SPH program are the extensive faculty expertise and experience in safety and health, medicine, engineering, industrial hygiene, and ergonomics; the program's critical ties to industry partners, enabling not only capstone field training opportunities and internships for students but placement of graduates in professional positions with these industry leaders; and the ability to attract a diverse student body via the school's commitment to and investment in innovative distributed learning technologies. TAMHSC SPH has been on the cutting edge of eLearning distributed learning technology since the school's inception in 1998. Qualified students in the Training Program may pursue their degree through a combination of on-campus, distance learning, or distributed learning methods. With the NIOSH training grant funding, this historically successful program will be able to recruit and retain, on a competitive basis, the best trainee candidates in the country. While the program has been able to recruit and maintain a highly qualified and successful faculty, including professional engineers, medical doctors, certified professional ergonomists, and certified industrial hygienists, the NIOSH funding is greatly needed and will assist in recruiting and retaining new, highly qualified students and faculty members. For this renewal, the program is seeking an increase of trainees from 2 per year at the masters level to 5 per year (3 masters level and 2 doctoral level) to support the growth we are seeing in our overall program size and to meet the demand for our students.

项目总结 德克萨斯农工大学健康科学职业安全与健康培训项目 中心的公共卫生学院(TAMHSC SPH)提供职业安全和健康方面的重点培训， 为硕士水平的公共卫生硕士学生提供安全、健康和人体工程学方面的专业知识。学生 完成课程后，具备开发问题和解决问题的一般概念的知识和技能 具有与职业安全和健康/健康、人体工程学、工业 卫生、职业病、人体解剖学、用户-计算机交互、显示和控制、信息 加工、工业过程安全、流行病学、振动控制和统计学。 TAMHSC SPH的职业安全与健康计划有着悠久的历史， 合格的安全从业人员。该计划的成功体现在积极的招聘 TAMHSC SPH毕业生来自行业、医疗保健、学术界和政府机构。原来是这样的 通过国家职业安全和安全研究所在TAMU工程学院建立 健康(NIOSH)-人体工程学培训补助金从1995-2003年，该计划和课程的教职员工转移到 TAMHSC SPH于2002年成立。TAMHSC SPH计划的主要优势是拥有广泛的教师队伍 在安全和健康、医学、工程、工业卫生和 人体工程学；该计划与行业合作伙伴的关键联系，不仅使Capstone现场培训成为可能 学生的机会和实习，但毕业生被安置在专业职位上 这些行业领导者；以及通过学校承诺吸引不同学生群体的能力 以及对创新的分布式学习技术的投资。 TAMHSC SPH一直处于电子学习分布式学习技术的前沿 学校成立于1998年。培训计划中符合条件的学生可以通过 结合使用校园内、远程学习或分布式学习方法。与NIOSH培训基金 资金，这一历史上成功的计划将能够在竞争的基础上招聘和留住最好的 国家的实习生候选人。虽然该计划已经能够招募和保持一名高素质的 和成功的教职员工，包括专业工程师、医生、认证的专业人体工程学专家， 和认证的工业卫生师，NIOSH的资金是非常需要的，并将帮助招聘和 留住新的、高素质的学生和教职员工。对于这次续签，该计划正在寻求一种 将受训人员从每年2名硕士增加到每年5名(3名硕士和2名博士)， 支持我们总体项目规模的增长，并满足我们对学生的需求。
