Unit I PowerPoint
Presentation
Create a 10- to 15-slide PowerPoint presentation (not
counting the title and reference slides) that provides an overview of
industrial hygiene. You may use the textbook, the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) booklet on industrial hygiene (provided in the
Suggested Readings for Unit I), the American Industrial Hygiene Association
(AIHA) website, and other sources as you see fit. Be sure to create a reference
slide that cites all sources using APA format. Include the following
information in your presentation:
Define industrial hygiene, and include information regarding
the work of early pioneers in the field of industrial hygiene. Describe how the
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 advanced the field of industrial
hygiene.
Discuss the major U.S. industrial hygiene organizations,
such as OSHA, AIHA, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), and the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH),
and define their roles in industrial hygiene and the protection of workers from
hazards in the workplace. (You may include foreign organizations if you are
currently working outside of the United States.)
Briefly describe the code of ethics for industrial
hygienists.
Explain the impact of federal regulations on workplace
safety and health. Define the types of hazards addressed by industrial
hygienists. Discuss the types of control methods used by industrial hygienists.
Describe the role industrial hygiene plays in an injury and
illness prevention program.
Use the notes section within PowerPoint to create the
dialogue or script that you would use when speaking to the audience about the
information presented on each slide. Your PowerPoint presentation should be
constructed using Times New Roman font, and the slides should not contain a
font smaller than 30 points; 28 points should be the absolute minimum.
