Graduates of the program enhance the health of workers and communities through:

  • management of toxic substances
  • pollution prevention and control
  • hazardous waste site remediation
  • community risk assessment and communication
The HSAT program at RMCOEH is closely associated with the Industrial Hygiene program. In addition to core industrial hygiene courses, HSAT students study quantitative risk assessment and hazardous substance management. Students successfully completing the Hazardous Substances course receive the OSHA 40-Hour Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response certificate.

Full-time students may receive full or partial NIOSH financial support that can include tuition payment and provision of a stipend.
