Occupational Safety and Health Program

项目摘要 工作场所对工人的总体健康和福祉有着重大影响。此外， 印第安纳州的工作场所死亡和受伤人数高于全国平均水平，这表明特别需要 这一区域然而，尽管对专业工业专家的需求尚未得到满足， 对职业健康和安全方案的资助和支持一直在减少。因此有 明确需要加强对工业卫生和职业健康研究生课程的支持， 安全为代价的普渡大学的职业与环境健康科学（OEHS）研究生课程是 为下一代工业企业家提供更多的培训机会。的 普渡大学的OEHS研究生课程的使命是培养毕业生成为专业人士，领导者和 工业卫生及相关领域的研究人员。该计划一直保持ABET认证， 自1997年以来，获得了工业卫生补助金，自1993年以来获得了NIOSH培训补助金。自2011年以来，我们的教师和学生 已获得超过300万美元的外部资金，以支持与职业和环境健康有关的 研究，发表了超过45篇同行评议的期刊文章，并获得了30多个奖项，他们 卓越的研究，奖学金和服务。该计划的毕业生在以下方面发挥了领导作用： 工业卫生、职业卫生、职业安全、环境卫生及相关领域。来 未来五年，普渡大学的工业卫生研究生课程将奋进保持其质量和扩大 培养研究生的能力。增加活动，从不同的国家招收和留住学生 背景将在今后五年内实施。我们的教师是值得注意的多样性和广度 他们在职业安全和健康专业领域的专业知识，包括工业卫生， 评估、辐射安全和健康、职业流行病学和职业毒理学。教师和 学生进行有关锰和其他金属的职业暴露和影响的研究; 空气质量的表征和风险评估，特别是接触纳米颗粒的情况;以及辐射健康 和安全性我们研究生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，安全工程，人类工程学， 通风和控制技术、毒理学、流行病学、环境卫生和统计学。核心 课程利用学生活动，强调批判性思维，沟通技巧，团队合作，创造力 以及对当前职业健康问题的认识。总之，经验和 其教师和学生的专业知识，确保普渡大学的OEHS研究生课程的毕业生将成为 工业卫生和职业健康领域的未来领导者。

Project Summary The workplace has a substantial influence on workers' overall health and well-being. Moreover, rates of workplace fatalities and injuries in Indiana are higher than the national average, indicating a particular need in this region. However, despite the fact that there is an unmet need for professional industrial hygienists, funding and support for occupational health and safety programs have been declining. Therefore, there is a clear need for enhanced support of graduate programs in industrial hygiene and occupational health and safety. Purdue University's graduate program in Occupational and Environmental Health Science (OEHS) is ideally situated to provide increased training opportunities for the next generation of industrial hygienists. The mission of Purdue's OEHS graduate program is to prepare its graduates to be professionals, leaders and researchers in Industrial Hygiene and related fields. This program has maintained ABET accreditation in industrial hygiene since 1997 and a NIOSH training grant since 1993. Since 2011, our faculty and students have secured over $3 million in external funding to support occupational and environmental health related research, published more than 45 peer-reviewed journal articles, and received more than 30 awards for their excellence in research, scholarship, and service. Graduates of this program have taken leadership roles in industrial hygiene, occupational health, occupational safety, environmental health, and related fields. Over the next five years, Purdue's industrial hygiene graduate program will endeavor to maintain its quality and expand its capacity for graduate student training. Increased activities to recruit and maintain students from diverse backgrounds will be implemented in the next five years. Our faculty are notable for the diversity and breadth of their expertise within occupational safety and health specialty areas including industrial hygiene, exposure assessment, radiation safety and health, occupational epidemiology, and occupational toxicology. Faculty and students conduct research related to occupational exposure and impacts of manganese and other metals; characterization and risk assessment of air quality, particularly exposures to nanoparticles; and radiation health and safety. Required coursework for our graduate programs covers safety and ethics, exposure assessment, physical agents, industrial hygiene measurements and instrumentation, safety engineering, ergonomics, ventilation and control technology, toxicology, epidemiology, environmental health, and statistics. The core curriculum utilize student activities that emphasize critical thinking, communications skills, teamwork, creativity and awareness of current issues in occupational health. Taken together, the combination of experience and expertise of its faculty and students ensure that graduates of Purdue's OEHS graduate program will become tomorrow's leaders in the field of industrial hygiene and occupational health.
