Phase 5 is the culmination of your course project. Use the research you have conducted so far on risk factors and hazards, injuries and illnesses, and recommendations for improvement and research to develop a “fact sheet” (two pages minimum) about your anticipated career path. Be creative and have fun with it! Include hashtags, photos, and any other information you think people should know about occupational health in your selected career.
Identify your selected career path and provide basic information about it and the industry.
For example: median pay, education required, work experience required, what on-the-job training they receive, job outlook
List the basic job tasks for your selected career.
List the risk factors and hazards for your career, including all relevant biological, chemical, physical, ergonomic, and psychosocial concerns.
Identify the top three types of accidents, top three injuries and illnesses, and top three injury sources for your career.
Identify individual actions that a person can take to reduce their exposure to the risk factors and hazards of this career. Include some potential environmental concerns that might
Make recommendations for future occupational health research in this career.
Make recommendations and prioritize the recommendations for scientific and technological solutions to address hazards or concerns in this career.
Provide at least three APA-formatted references with in-text citations in Phase 5.
