Description
Introduction: The increasing demand for worker protection from occupational hazards forces increased demand for professionals with the training and education in occupational hygiene. In many parts of the world where the need for knowledgeable occupational hygienists is most urgent, formal training programs do not exist. As a means to compensate the shortfall of occupational hygiene programs and instructors numerous online and blended educational courses have been developed and conducted to build capacity in far reaching regions where need is most urgent.
Materials and Methods: This study analyzes and evaluates a broad
range of organizations and courses that have been developed in the
past several years in terms of types of courses, numbers and types
of students, and the quality of the courses including their abilities
to achieve intended course or program objectives. The study then
evaluates how training has shifted during the global pandemic to
continue to meet development needs as more courses began to be
conducted via the internet and in blended formats.
Results and Conclusions: In the past decade numerous courses and
programs have been created and implemented to address the need for
occupational hygiene capacity around the world, primarily by in-
structors who traveled to distant regions to teach in-person courses. This has resulted in high quality successful courses that greatly
benefited recipients. As the pandemic curtailed international travel
and the ability to conduct these courses, training quickly shifted to
efficient and successful online and blended modalities.
