Hazardous substances training for occupational safety and health professionals
The Hazardous Substances Academic Training (HSAT) program was established
in 1993 to provide specialized training in the management of hazardous
substances for professionals in environmental
quality & health (EQH) and industrial
hygiene (IH) areas. The program provides training in this multidisciplinary
field, drawing on specialized coursework and experience in public health,
environmental science, and engineering. The HSAT program responds to
the well-recognized need for professionals who are competent in dealing
with hazardous substances in the environment and workplace. Program
graduates are capable of addressing such topics as hazardous waste site
remediation, environmental management of toxic substances, soil and
groundwater remediation, pollution control and pollution prevention,
worker protection and worker training, community concerns and risk communication,
and exposure and risk assessment.
The HSAT program is supported by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the National
Institute of Occupational Safety and Health. With this support,
we can provide tuition and stipend assistance for qualified students.
The HSAT program is one of the elements of the Education
and Research Center (ERC) at the University of Michigan. This multidisciplinary
center provides academic training, continuing education and research
in the areas of industrial hygiene, occupational medicine, safety engineering
and nursing. |
