- Understand the occupational medicine physician’s history, credentials, practice settings, scope, and preplacement evaluations.
- Understand the occupational health nurse’s scope, standards, prevention roles, service models, and outcome evaluation.
- Build and manage an industrial hygiene program through policy, assessment, participation, documentation, evaluation, and resources.
- Understand integrated EHS programs, shared responsibilities, regulatory drivers, resource models, and people-profit-planet thinking.
- Understand employer duties, inspections, health standards, worker rights, and the roles of OSHA, NIOSH, EPA, and state agencies.
- Understand GHS, REACH, control banding, hazard communication, and international occupational safety and health systems.
- Trace OSHA history from the pre-OSH Act era to recent developments, major transitions, and the agency’s evolving role.
Pre Requisites
- Participants should have a basic understanding of workplace operations, safety, or technical environments, proficiency in English, and a strong interest in occupational health, exposure assessment, hazard recognition, monitoring, ventilation, control methods, and protecting workers from chemical, physical, biological, and ergonomic hazards. Prior experience in industrial hygiene is helpful but not essential.
FAQ
- Q. How long do I have access to the course materials?
- A. You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.
- Q. Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?
- A. Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don't have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That's up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
