1Use scientific and engineering principles to anticipate and recognize potential health hazards in the workplace.

2Interpret the scientific literature and health data and apply these to the anticipating, recognition, evaluation and control of occupational hazards in the workplace.

3Describe/understand different approaches for controlling exposures in the occupational environment and give hypothetical and real situations in terms of the best control methods and relative pros and cons.

4Understand the physical and physiological aspects of heat stress and heat strain and apply this knowledge to prevent heat injury in the workplace.

5Understand the potential sources of indoor air quality problems, physical symptoms which may be experiences by individuals exposed to various contaminants, and methods of improving the indoor environment.

6Identify biological contaminants and methods of controlling exposure.

7Understand the physical and physiological aspects of noise-induced hearing loss and apply this knowledge to assess exposure and prevent hearing loss in the workplace.

8Perform calculations of noise levels, noise doses and the effectiveness of noise control options.

9Select and size the components of a local exhaust ventilation system: hoods, ductwork, air cleaners, fans and balance/test such systems, culminating in the ability to design a small ventilation system.
