August 20, 2003—With expert assistance from engineering school faculty and engineering societies, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has produced a series of nine instructional modules to further achieve the goals of Project SHAPE. SHAPE (Safety and Health Awareness for Preventive Engineering) was a collaborative project between NIOSH, engineering professional societies, and engineering schools to enhance the education of engineering students in occupational safety and health. These modules are available for use by engineering faculty who have interest in incorporating occupational safety and health topics within appropriate required and elective courses. The modules are available in PDF format for download only, not available through NIOSH Publications.
Project SHAPE Instructional Modules include:
- Agricultural Safety and Health for Engineers—An ASAE Instructional Module (Developed by the American Society for Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) with support from NIOSH. Used with permission.)
- An Applied Approach to Epidemiology and Toxicology for Engineers
- An Introduction to Electrical Safety for Engineers
- Application of Hazard Evaluation Techniques to the Design of Potentially Hazardous Industrial Chemical Processes
- Construction Safety and Health for Civil Engineers
- Fire Protection
- Incorporation of Occupational Safety and Health Into Unit Operations Laboratory Courses
- Occupational Diseases
- System Safety and Risk Management. This module also contains Web-page links to over 500 presentation slides and workshop problem slides (available free, as PDFs).
