COEH faculty provide consultation to employers, labor, government, and community-based groups, and serve on a wide range of advisory boards. In addition, COEH offers an organized outreach program based on the Berkeley campus consisting of the Labor Occupational Health Program and the professional Continuing Education Program. LOHP conducts training sessions and conferences, maintains an extensive health and safety library, and produces both written and audio-visual materials. The technical assistance of an occupational hygienist or health educator can be obtained through LOHP for particular projects, and referrals are made when appropriate to health care providers, attorneys, and regulatory agencies. The program draws upon faculty from throughout COEH as well as nationally prominent guest instructors.
Courses range from a few hours to a week in length.
Attendees include physicians, nurses, safety professionals, occupational hygienists, and others interested in occupational safety and health issues. Professional and community organizations are invited to co-sponsor courses. COEH offers an annual summer institute for continuing education in occupational health and safety. The Center operates three occupational and environmental health clinics, two at UC San Francisco and the other at the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento. They provide a variety of clinical services to surrounding communities, including diagnosis and treatment of work-related illnesses and injuries, consultation with referring professionals, the design of medical surveillance programs for employers, and the provision of occupational hygiene services.
