Program Description:

Each year, thousands of workers throughout the world are killed, injured, or otherwise adversely affected by chemical, biological, and/or physical, agents encountered in the workplace. Common hazards include dusts, gases and vapors, bio-aerosols, pathogens, noise, and ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Ergonomic stresses and safety hazards are also important causes of workplace morbidity and mortality. The goal of our graduate program is to educate individuals to anticipate, recognize, evaluate, control, and manage such workplace health risks. The UM IH program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) and is a key component of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Education and Research Center (ERC).
