Concentration: Occupational Exposure Science (Code: OES)
Delivery: Traditional

According to the American Industrial Hygiene Association, the field of Occupational Exposure Science (also known as Industrial Hygiene) is devoted to the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, control and prevention of environmental factors or stresses arising in or from the workplace which may cause sickness, impaired health and well-being or significant discomfort among workers or citizens of the community.

If you pursue a career in Occupational Exposure Science (OES), you will be called upon to anticipate, recognize, evaluate and control hazards – chemical, physical, biological or psychological. For example, you may need to assess the exposures of workers to any of the 80,000+ chemical in use, you might have to manage the after-effects of a fire at a manufacturing plant, you could be hired to consult with a company on how to control noise levels, or you may be involved in the prevention and management of mold in the a school, hospital, or workplace.
