| 520 | |a Professionals have been working in occupational safety and health (OS&H) in the United States since at least the advent of the Industrial Revolution. Formal educational in OS&H began in earnest with passage of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) of 1970 that included provisions for funding training in OS&H disciplines. A study conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in 2011 estimated that there were over 48,000 (2.3/10,000 working age adults) OS&H professionals working in the US. Employers surveyed in this study reported a need to hire over 25,000 OS&H professionals in the next 5 years. OS&H training programs were projected to graduate less than 13,000 students in that period. Core knowledge and skills in the various OS&H disciplines typically includes academic training in epidemiology, biostatistics, administration & management, behavioral health science, industrial hygiene, ergonomics, and foundation courses in occupational injury and disease prevention. Employers report interest in additional training in communication, technical writing, leadership, cross-disciplinary training, emerging hazards, and knowledge of regulations and compliance. Funding of OS&H programs has been a persistent challenge. A lack of student awareness of training and career opportunities poses additional challenges for recruitment of qualified applicants. While hiring demands and career prospects remain high for most OS&H disciplines, the support for training programs, and the supply of new graduates presents ongoing challenges for OS&H educators. | ||
| 520 | |a U Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama zaštitom na radu (OHS) stručnjaci se bave od samog početka Industrijske revolucije ako ne i ranije. Formalno i ozbiljno obrazovanje iz zaštite na radu ustanovljeno je prihvaćanjem Zakona o zaštiti na radu 1970. godine koji uključuje i odredbe o financiranju osposobljavanja za područja zaštite na radu. Nacionalni institut zaštite na radu proveo je 2011. godine studiju koja je pokazala da u Sjedinjenim Državama radi 48,000 (2,3 na 10.000 odraslih zaposlenih) stručnjaka zaštite na radu. Poslodavci uključeni u studiju izrazili su potrebu zapošljavanja 25.000 stručnjaka zaštite na radu u narednih pet godina. Projekcije pokazuju da će u navedenom razdoblju programi osposobljavanja obrazovati tek 13.000 stručnjaka. Temeljna znanja i vještine iz različitih disciplina zaštite na radu obično uključuju akademsko obrazovanje iz epidemiologije, biostatistike, administracije i upravljanja, poznavanje zdravstvenog ponašanja, industrijske higijene, ergonomije i temeljna znanja o ozljedama na radu i prevenciji bolesti. Poslodavci su zainteresirani za dodatnu izobrazbu iz područja komunikacije, tehničkog pisanja, vodstva, interdisciplinarnih znanja, mogućih opasnosti i poznavanja i poštovanja regulative. Financiranje programa osposobljavanja za zaštitu na radu stalni je izazov. Nedovoljna svijest studenata o mogućnostima obrazovanja i zapošljavanja u tom području predstavlja dodatni problem u pronalaženju kvalificiranih kandidata. Iako je potražnja za kadrovima velika, a i mogućnosti za karijeru također, u većini područja zaštite na radu, potpore programima i premalen broj diplomiranih stručnjaka stalan su izazov nastavnom osoblju. | ||
