Occupational Safety & Ergonomics Center (Spring 2005) Industrial & Systems Engineering Department

Dr. Rob Thomas Director, Professor of INSY Occupational Safety & Health NIOSH / CDC ERC (Education & Research Center) founded in 1981 Joint between AU INSY Engr / UAB Medicine, Nursing, Public Health Current annual funding for AU: $232K Dr. Jerry Davis Assistant Professor

Occupational Safety & Health Extended Faculty –Robert (Bob) Rummer, PhD, CPE (USFS) –David (Dave) Pascoe, PhD (HLHP) –Wendi H. Weimer, PhD (HLHP) –Troy Blackburn, PhD (HLHP) –Bill L. Hopkins, PhD (PSYC) –Dick T. Herrick, MD (Private Practice Physician) –Lewis Payton, PhD (INSY)

Deep South Center One of 16 national centers supported by CDC/NIOSH Responsible for Occupational Safety and Health training (and research) in the Southeast (AL, MS, TN, GA, KY, SC) Programs –Occupational Medicine, Nursing, and Industrial Hygiene (UAB) –Occupational Safety & Ergonomics (AU) Benefits –National connections and recognition –Interdisciplinary training and resources –Enhancement of undergraduate instruction

Mission and Structure Mission: high quality graduate education and research in ergonomics, safety and human factors with funding earmarked for US citizens / permanent residents Structure: graduate students take regular ISE curriculum with electives, site visits, projects and seminars focused on occupational safety and ergonomics. Can get ISE MS, MISE or PhD degrees.

Students Graduated 10 PhD and 40 MS students working for Honda, NASA, Delta Airlines, Penn State, General Motors, UPS, Intel, etc. over past 5 years Current students: 5 PhD & 18 MS (14 on- campus: 9 receiving NIOSH support)
