Critical appraisal of published evidence. Clinical, toxicologic and hygiene perspectives. Rehabilitation and employment of disabled workers. Regulatory aspects of occupational health and safety. Practical exercises are undertaken in a full-equipped hygiene laboratory.
Attention is given particularly to sampling strategies and quality control of laboratory analyses.
While these have special relevance to hygienists attending the course, other professionals learn the major components. Equally, engineers are introduced to techniques such as audiometry and measurements of pulmonary function, although detailed study of these is left to physicians and nurses. Visits to various institutions are arranged for on-site experience. The Laboratory exercises and Field Visits are also incorporated in some of the modules. Optional clinical experience can also be available.
