Industrial Site Audit Research Fellow
Why should I apply?
As an Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) participant, you will join a community of scientists and researchers in their effort to research industrial processes across a wide variety of industry classifications. Professionals in Civil Engineering, Engineering Management, Public Health, and Life Science fields help manage risk by assessing the presence of sufficient utilities, evaluating the security of industrial sites/materials, hazardous materials, waste, and hazardous waste; and ensuring compliance with Environment, Safety, and Occupational Health (ESOH) standards and other environmental permits. This project will involve research activities that will enable participants to learn more about preparation for audits for and site visits at various industrial sites in southern Ohio.
What will I be doing?
- Researching information about various industries to estimate levels of risk and learn to develop risk mitigation techniques
- Learning research techniques related to the audit of industrial sites
- Applying engineering management principles to develop effective tools for auditing industrial performance and ESOH risk
- Gaining experience in identifying human and environmental health risks during tours at industrial facilities
