The Center for Occupational Health and Safety Engineering (COHSE), housed within the University of Michigan School of Public Health, has received a five-year, $9 million grant from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to continue its pivotal role in training the future generation of occupational health professionals.
Since its establishment in 1982, the COHSE has been committed to enhancing the health and safety of workers in the US and globally.
“Addressing workplace hazards and promoting workers’ safety and well-being is key to ensuring a healthy and productive workforce and economy,” said Rick Neitzel, COHSE director and professor of Environmental Health Sciences and Global Public Health at Michigan Public Health. “This new funding for COHSE will allow the University of Michigan to continue to educate well-trained practitioners and researchers who can improve occupational health and safety among US workers.”
