This is to help you become a practitioner in preventing accidents and ill health in the workplace, and in managing workplace environmental issues. Youll explore topics including risk perception and risk management, law, occupational hygiene, and environmental management. Youll learn how to critically assess the evidence on the health and wellbeing of a defined population, and how to analyse exposure data to evaluate toxicological risks to population health. You’ll consider occupational health and safety philosophies for effective control and health protection purposes, and evaluate risk management systems for specific workplace environments, including the gas, oil and food industries. You’ll go on site visits to a variety of industrial and commercial settings, such as manufacturing industries, construction sites and waste treatment plants. You’ll apply the knowledge you learn on visits to risk assessment, management and compliance requirements, maintaining workplace safety, and to building infrastructure and compliance systems. For your dissertation, you’ll submit your research proposal (usually 1,000 words) and write a piece of work presenting your research findings (approximately 16,000 words). Past dissertation themes include stress management and safety impact in high-risk industry, silica exposure among construction workers and the impact of extreme climate on outdoor workers.
