A group of 20 UC ERC students, faculty, and staff participated in a tour and presentations from staff at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden. The group was made up of participants from all the ERC academic programs (industrial hygiene, safety engineering, occupational health nursing, and occupational medicine), making it a truly interdisciplinary experience. The group learned about many different aspects of the safety and health operations at the Cincinnati Zoo including emergency response, animal risk and response plans, dive team safety, zoonotic disease, weapons team, and workers’ compensation.
The symposium highlights pilot research projects in various fields of occupational health and safety.
The 21st Research Capacity Building Workshop was held on June 12-13, 2025 with 21 attendees from 6 different universities.
ERC students and 3 faculty went on a trip to visit River View Coal, LLC in Waverly, KY and the GE Appliances Park in Louisville, KY. At River View the group learned about the safety features and gear, then went on an underground tour and a surface tour of the mine, and spoke with leadership, clinicians, and staff to ask questions and learn more about worker safety.
The symposium included ERC students and faculty from the University of Cincinnati, University of Illinois at Chicago, University of Kentucky, University of Michigan, and University of Minnesota as well as some industry professionals and ERC advisory board members.
