Occupational Safety and Health Training Project

描述（申请人提供）：俄勒冈州立大学工业、焊接与系统工程系（IWSE）将提供5个职业安全与人体工程学培训机会，为有兴趣从事职业安全与人体工程学或相关领域的工业、咨询或学术事业的硕士工程学生提供教育机会。课程和研讨会将使学生接触到职业安全、健康和人为因素/人体工程学方面的各种主题。学生将接受负责任的研究实践培训，并将参与解决NORA优先研究领域的最先进的研究，如腰背疾病、上肢肌肉骨骼疾病、创伤性损伤、新兴技术、工作组织、特殊风险人群、暴露评估方法和/或干预有效性研究。研究项目、研讨会、实习和其他机会将使学生接触到新NORA将针对的几个部门，包括农业、建筑、制造业和仓储。学生将向俄勒冈州立大学的教师和经验丰富的从业者学习；他们将学习安全和人体工程学基础知识以及新兴趋势和概念，例如弹性安全和工程以及职业安全与健康的健康方法。俄勒冈州立大学的工程学院正在实施从代表性不足的群体中招募和留住顶尖研究生的战略，IWSE的niosh赞助的培训项目将积极参与这些战略，为该项目招募参与者。该项目将为拥有28.8万名雇主和工程师的俄亥俄州提供培训，帮助他们识别和解决各种工作场所的安全和人体工程学危害。该计划的毕业生将成为有价值的员工，因为他们的培训（研究方法，安全，健康，人体工程学/人为因素等），部门接触（农业，制造业，仓储等）和教师接触（学者和经验丰富的专业人士）的广度。

DESCRIPTION (Provided by Applicant): Five traineeships in Occupational Safety and Ergonomics will be offered in the Department of Industrial, Welding & Systems Engineering (IWSE) at OSU, to provide educational opportunities to engineering students at the master's level interested in pursuing industrial, consulting, or academic careers in occupational safety and ergonomics, or related areas. Courses and seminars will expose students to various topics in occupational safety, health, and human factors/ergonomics. Students will be trained in responsible research practices and will be involved in state-of-the-art research that addresses NORA Priority Research Areas, such as Low Back Disorders, Musculoskeletal Disorders of the Upper Extremities, Traumatic Injuries, Emerging Technologies, Organization of Work, Special Populations at Risk, Exposure Assessment Methods, and/or Intervention Effectiveness Research. Research projects, seminars, internships, and other opportunities will expose students to several of the sectors the new NORA will be targeting, including agriculture, construction, manufacturing, and warehousing. Students will learn from OSU faculty and experienced practitioners; they will learn about safety and ergonomics fundamentals and about emerging trends and concepts, such as resilience safety & engineering and wellness approaches to occupational safety and health. OSU's College of Engineering is implementing strategies for recruiting and retaining top-notch graduate students from underrepresented groups, and the IWSE's NIOSH-sponsored training program will actively participate in those strategies in recruiting participants for the program. The program will provide Ohio, a state with 288,000 employers, engineers with training to help them identify and address safety and ergonomics hazards in a wide variety of workplaces. Program graduates will become valuable employees because of the breadth of their training (research methods, safety, health, ergonomics/human factors, and others), sector exposure (agriculture, manufacturing, warehousing, and others), and instructor exposure (academics and experienced professionals).
