5 The environmental, safety and occupational health (ESOH) management program prepares students to use applied science and knowledge of regulations to solve problems and make a difference in their workplaces, their communities and their countries. Our graduates also serve as environmental watchdogs in the community, assuring safe supplies of food and drinking water; reducing air, water, food and noise pollution; and investigating the source of certain illnesses and diseases. They work for state, county and city health agencies, the federal government and international organizations. The ESOH program lets students choose how they want to make a difference by allowing them to focus on one of five areas: 1. Environmental compliance 2. Environmental health 3. Safety/industrial hygiene 4. Sustainability 5. Emergency management Environmental Compliance Students learn to protect the environment by studying regulations and policies, environmental hazards and cleanup processes. This focus can lead to a career with a governmental regulatory agency like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or with private industry. Environmental Health This program is for students who want to help protect others by maintaining a healthy environment. As workplace equipment, chemicals and conditions present more threats to health and safety, industry and government agencies continue to generate significant demand for graduates trained in environmental health.

6 Safety/Industrial Hygiene What better way to make a difference than by helping to protect your coworkers and members of your community? By focusing on workplace safety; students learn to help prevent and control hazards (asbestos, falls, hazardous drug exposures, carbon monoxide, etc.), study work-related illnesses and injuries and learn how to train others in safety procedures. Industrial hygienists keep workers, their families and the community healthy and safe. Students with this focus can expect to play a vital role in ensuring that federal, state and local laws are followed in the work environment. Industrial hygienists work with issues that concern all of us, e.g., indoor air quality, environmental lead exposure, emergency response planning and education, and occupational diseases. Sustainability A major interest of today s science professionals is the impact made by the destruction of biophysical resources, and especially the earth s ecosystems. Individuals in this program will learn the principles of sustainable development, meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
