A plan for baccalaureat education in occupational hygiene.
Educational requirements for industrial hygienists will continue to expand with the increasing need to monitor and control hazardous agents and to comply with more stringent OSHA regulations. A proposed baccalaureat program in occupational hygiene, designed to meet these needs, is presented. Emerging areas of responsibility in occupationally-induced disease prevention and the resulting educational requirements are discussed. A proposed curriculum and course descriptions are included.
