摘要

The goal of the study described here was to provide a snapshot of knowledge, skills, and abilities currently required by employers in the private sector of the environmental health and safety field, specifically for entry-level positions attainable by individuals recently earning a bachelor's degree in environmental health. Information was collected first through the screening of 115 entry-level job descriptions posted on a popular environmental health and safety Internet job-seeking site. Because of the predominance of industrial hygiene and safety job descriptions found, a second data source was created an online opinion survey taken by 98 American Industrial Hygiene Association registered consultants certified in industrial hygiene. Important results from both data sources indicated that employers preferred a four-year science degree for new hires.
