特点
职业卫生是一门多学科专业，结合了生命科学、物理科学、工程科学和行为科学，旨在预防工作场所引起的疾病和伤害。其主要目标包括识别健康危害、评估风险程度以及消除或控制这些风险。职业卫生学家需要深入了解现代技术和工业过程对健康和安全的影响。此外，他们还必须理解相关的政治、社会心理和经济背景，并能与医疗、工程和人力资源专业人员，以及工会和商业领导人等利益相关者有效合作。
Occupational hygiene is a multidisciplinary profession drawing upon many basic and applied disciplines in the life, physical, engineering and behavioural sciences. The main aim of the profession is the prevention of disease and injury arising from the workplace. It involves the identification of health hazards, the evaluation or assessment of the extent of risk posed by the hazards, and the elimination or control of the risks. Occupational Hygienists require a sound understanding of modern technology and industrial processes, and their impact on health and safety. An OH also must understand the political, psycho-social and economic context in which they operate and they must work effectively with medical/clinical, engineering, and human resources professionals, employees/workers as well as business/organizational leaders and workplace stakeholders such as union and labour leaders.
课程设置介绍：
The objective of this degree is to train Occupational Hygiene professionals to anticipate, identify, assess, and manage risks to health posed by hazardous materials, agents and processes. Although the focus is the occupational environment, graduates can also apply these principles in non-occupational settings within built environments. Key themes of the program are; evaluation of exposures to hazards, devising effective hazard controls, and developing management strategies to optimize occupational health.
