Project Description and Objectives
General objectives:
At the end of the project, the student should have carried out one of the following studies:
1. Assemble and review the relevant literature, collect, organize and present data pertinent to a problem in occupational health, hygiene and safety; propose adequate solutions to problems encountered as an occupational professional.
2. Assemble and review the relevant literature; carry out an
original analysis on a specific question using existing databases; discuss
results.
3. Carry out an exhaustive and scholarly literature review on a specific topic relevant to occupational or environmental health.
4. Write a research proposal in the field of occupational
health, hygiene and safety, including a review of the relevant literature.
5. Develop a health and/or safety program for a specific industrial environment.
Students carrying out a survey or doing an analysis using a database should report this together with the literature review in a form that would be acceptable as a report to a company, a regulatory agency or a paper for a peer-reviewed journal. The report (main body of text) will usually be between 20 and 30 pages.
A study proposal should be
briefer, generally following a format similar to that required by major
granting agencies.
A
literature review or a description of a program can be presented in a more
extended format.
