4 semester hours Prerequisite: ESOH 270, BSEM 325 or an equivalent course This comprehensive capstone health and safety course includes detailed study of the occupational safety and health regulatory compliance requirements in prototypical U.S. industrial facilities. It utilizes both the General Industry Standards of OSHA (29 CFR 1910) as well as professional standards of the major consensus practice organizations that address the practice of occupational health. Case studies examine different workplace settings and roles (e.g. regulator, consultant, or facility staff) as well as the possible management tasks that students may encounter in professional employment. Students are required to complete workplace and facility audits, create program documents, and conduct mock management assessments pertaining to staffing and budgetary concerns.

3.00 Credits
3 semester hours The course will take the theory taught in ESOH 325 and focus on the practical application of the following standards and procedures addressed in a scenario and case based learning format: NIMS, NFPA 1600, unified command, incident command system, mutual-aid and the national model, liaison, and communicating in an emergency. Case studies examine different workplace settings and roles (e.g. regulator, consultant, or victim) as well as the possible management tasks that students may encounter in professional employment. Students are required to complete workplace and facility audits, create program documents, and conduct mock management assessments.

4.00 Credits
4 semester hours This course is a detailed study of ventilation control methods. Case studies of general methods and local exhaust for control of hazardous gases, vapors, and aerosols are investigated. Calculations regarding the capture and reduction in contaminant levels are required. Investigation of noise, temperature, ergonomic, and radiation factors are considered. Students conduct a ventilation and noise investigation that properly implements control practices in an industrial setting.
-
