title: A plan for baccalaureat education in occupational hygiene.
abstract: 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.
