 The major goals are: learning and understanding the occupational
health concepts

This course is designed to introduce the scientific basis of

occupational health, especially the relevant principles and concepts of
workplace hazards, toxicology and ergonomics. The nature of
common occupational health hazards and their effect upon the human
body are examined. Examples of common protective measures and
controls are also reviewed.

The course will involve 2 sessions of teaching (TCL =Teacher Center

Learning) and 12 session of student’s presentation in small group
(SCL = Student Center Learning).

The course is divided into the following topics
