Associate Professor Doty (Director); Assistant Professors Chan (Coordinator), Schupe Occupational Health and Safety is an interdisciplinary science relying heavily on the principles derived from the biological, health, and physical sciences. As a professional field, major emphasis is placed upon the control of man's working environment in order to prevent health and safety hazards from developing. Within the past decade, man has become acutely aware of the many types of health hazards that exist in the industrial environment. Thousands of deaths and millions of injuries which can be related to the industrial environment have occurred each year. In 1970, the Occupational Safety and Health Act was passed by the federal government and has provided a mechanism for improvement of the worker's environment.
Subsequently, major advances have been made in the identification, monitoring, and control of industrial environment health hazards.
Students who enter this program will be graduated as Occupational Health Specialists and will receive the Bachelor of Science degree from the School of Medicine. Upon graduation, the student becomes eligible for employment with federal, state, and local agencies whose functions involve health promotion and health hazards control in the work environmenl. Employment is also possible in industry and commerce. A survey of Indiana industries revealed a continuing need for occupational health personnel. The same need has been demonstrated on a national
DIVISION OF ALLIED HEALTH SCIENCES 45 level as well. Additionally, graduate training i11 the field of occupational health is available throughout the United States.
Graduates of this concentration area will be capable of identifying, analyzing and promot- ing control of health and safety hazards in the work environment; designing and implementing monitoring surveillance programs; recommending procedures for controlling health hazards using engineering principles in material handling, power systems, drafting, materials mechan- ics, and ventilation; planning, implementing, evaluating, and supervising occupational health and safety programs; interacting with regulatory bodies; and promoting health within the work and community environments.
In addition to the previous requiremen,ts, students must complete the professional courses listed below.
NOTE: Field trips are required parts of the professional curriculum and students are advised that they must bear the costs associated with these activities.
