| Abstract | The University at Buffalo, SUNY Occupational Safety and Health Training Project (UB OSH Training Project) produces highly qualified safety and health M.S. graduates to impact occupational safety and health (OSH) practice in NY, and beyond via a rigorous academic program, formal research, practical experiences and training. Master's level students from Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) complete courses on OSH topics, including safety, ergonomics, industrial hygiene, and epidemiology, and will graduate with a concentration in OSH while obtaining their ISE degree. They also complete OSHA certification training in such topics as Hazardous Materials Handling to expand their knowledge beyond traditional coursework. Further specialization is received through the completion of a mentored thesis research project and a required internship provided in cooperation with the Niagara Frontier Chapter of the American Society of Safety Engineers and the local New York State Center for Occupational and Environmental Medicine. Trainees gain work experience from the internship, preparing them to enter the OSH workforce upon graduation, and the research experience that encourages OSH citizenship and life-long learning. Throughout the program, trainees participate in development activities and engage with local safety professionals at local, regional, and national meetings. Over the past 9 years, trainees within this Program participated in close to 100 OSH professional development activities. |
