This course is an introduction to the physical and occupational safety tools and techniques and connection to sustainability. Course emphasizes safety excellence though broad application of hazard identification, control and mitigation across industry and community operations, from design to safe use, occupational and process systems. This course reviews OSHA, other regulations, consensus guidelines, and best practices that pertain to maintaining safe operations and physical locations. Management of safety is discussed: inspection, committees, written programs, reporting and agency communications.

This course will provide students with the fundamentals of industrial hygiene and environmental public health, including exposure systems for various chemical, biological, and physical toxicants on individuals or within populations. Fundamentals of, monitoring and sampling, and the hierarchy of controls are covered; Determining roles and the ways in which industrial hygiene may interact with other disciplines such as public health, occupational medicine or environmental engineering are explored. When both this course and ESHS-512 lab are completed, the OSHA 40 hour HAZWOPER certificate is earned. Any non-ESHM program students may take this course without the required lab requisite with permission from the department. This course is co-listed with ESHS-611; students may receive credit for ESHS-511 or ESHS-611, not both.

Weekly labs and associated reports develop skills and understanding of calibration and use of air sampling equipment and other instrumentation to assess workplace health hazards. Hands-on practical hazardous material response. Students who complete the course will receive OSHA HAZWOPER 40 hour certification.

This course will provide students with an overview of the fundamentals of industrial hygiene. Emphasis will be on the toxicological effects of various industrial substances, on the body, monitoring and personal sampling for these substances and personal protection against such substances. This course maybe co-listed with ESHS-511; students may receive credit for ESHS-511 or ESHS-611, not both.
