With the advent of new industrial hygiene academic training programs in hazardous substances, located at nine United States universities, a curriculum needs assessment survey was developed at the University of Minnesota and completed by members of the joint American Industrial Hygiene Association/American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists Hazardous Waste Committee and members of the Health and Safety Subcommittee of the Hazardous Waste Action Coalition. The survey asked respondents to indicate whether 27 course subjects (1) should be required, (2) may be required or elective, (3) should be elective, or (4) should not be offered. Respondents were also asked to recommend additional course subjects, research needs in the hazardous materials and waste field, and certifications to be pursued. Results from 50 completed surveys (50% response rate) showed that about half of the respondents work for consulting companies and have more than 15 years of experience in the hazardous material or waste field. The courses receiving the most "required" responses included (1) the relevant regulations, (2) worker training in health and safety, (3) waste management technology, (4) pollution prevention, and (5) treatment technology. Of elective subjects, respondents recommended education in communications, public affairs, negotiations and conflict resolution, property inspection, government relations, and air pollution modeling. Respondents indicated the strongest research needs were in the areas of direct reading instruments (improved versions and their use for personal exposure monitoring) and heat stress management of personnel wearing protective clothing. Respondents felt that the best qualifications to pursue after graduation were the Certified Industrial Hygienist designation alone, or in combination with the Certified Safety Professional designation.
随着美国九所大学开设了新的有害物质工业卫生学术培训项目，明尼苏达大学开展了一项课程需求评估调查，该调查由美国工业卫生协会/美国政府工业卫生学家会议危险废物委员会联合成员以及危险废物行动联盟健康与安全小组委员会成员完成。该调查要求受访者指出27门课程科目（1）是否应列为必修课，（2）是否可列为必修课或选修课，（3）是否应列为选修课，或（4）是否不应开设。受访者还被要求推荐其他课程科目、危险材料和废物领域的研究需求以及应获取的认证。50份完整调查问卷的结果（回复率为50%）显示，约一半的受访者就职于咨询公司，在危险材料或废物领域拥有超过15年的经验。获得最多“必修”回复的课程包括：（1）相关法规，（2）工人健康与安全培训，（3）废物管理技术，（4）污染预防，以及（5）处理技术。关于选修科目，受访者推荐了沟通、公共事务、谈判与冲突解决、财产检查、政府关系以及空气污染建模方面的课程。受访者指出，最迫切的研究需求在于直读式仪器领域（改进版本及其在个人暴露监测中的应用）以及穿着防护服人员的热应激管理。受访者认为毕业后最值得考取的资质是单独的注册工业卫生师资格，或与注册安全专业人员资格联合考取。
