    1. To provide a firm scientific basis for the recognition of health hazards that are associated with occupations<\/li>\n
    2. Use basic scientific and engineering principles to anticipate and identify potential hazards in the work place<\/li>\n
    3. To provide the background for interpreting toxicology literature, health data and incorporate these into the management of occupational health hazards and diseases<\/li>\n
    4. To apply principles of engineering in the design of appropriate controls for workplace hazards, with a major emphasis on noise and general and local exhaust ventilation<\/li>\n
    5. To select, evaluate, and manage the use of appropriate types of personal protective equipment for control of worker exposures<\/li>\n
    6. To communicate to labor, management, and the community, both verbally and in writing, the nature, risks, and remediation of workplace and environmental hazards<\/li>\n
