For 20 years, Center Director Mitch Rosen has been leading an unforgettable learning experience for occupational safety and health graduate students through the course Historical Perspectives on Occupational Safety and Health.

Each June, students step outside the classroom and into real-world settings where the history and practice of worker health and safety come to life.

One stop on the Tour was to Portland, Maine, where they learned how Maine Marine Patrol works to keep maritime workers safe.

For 20 years, Center Director Mitchel Rosen has been leading an unforgettable learning experience for occupational safety and health graduate students through the course Historical Perspectives on Occupational Safety and Health.

Each June, students step outside the classroom and into real-world settings where the history and practice of worker health and safety come to life—from the Boott Cotton Mills Museum, where they explore early 20th-century textile production and labor conditions, to Portland, where they learn how the Maine Marine Patrol works to protect lobstermen and keep maritime workers safe.

Across this multi-day immersive course, students connect theory to practice, observe workers in real environments, and critically examine hazards, exposures, and prevention strategies—building a deeper understanding of what it truly means to protect workers on the job.

Worker health and well-being isn't just something we talk about—it's something we actively prioritize for our own team.

This week, Megan Rockafellow Baldoni led a pressed flower workshop, giving us an opportunity to step away from our desks and spend an hour connecting through creativity, relaxation, and fun. 🌸

In public health and other mission-driven professions, making space for joy matters. When colleagues laugh together, celebrate together, and connect as people, they're building the trust, relationships, and resilience that help them do their best work.

🙏Thank you to the more than 70 National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Worker Training Program awardees and staff who recently gathered at Rutgers University—New Brunswick for the 2026 WTP Spring Workshop, focused on AI and the future of worker health and safety training.

The event featured engaging discussions on the evolving role of AI in occupational health and safety, including:

📍Mapping AI as an emerging occupational hazard
📍Adapting risk assessment and the hierarchy of controls for AI
📍Exploring AI as a tool for worker protection—opportunities and risks
📍Identifying high-risk sectors and uniquely susceptible populations
📍Centering worker voice, rights, and collective action in AI deployment

These conversations will help shape how we thoughtfully integrate AI into OSH training, recognizing both its promise and its challenges. It will also offer insights and recommendations for the responsible use of AI in future training programs.

From the classroom to the global stage 🌍

Associate Professor and Center Manager Koshy Koshy, PhD, recently returned to his childhood hometown to share decades of occupational safety and health expertise at the University of Kerala’s conference on Global Perspectives on Sustainable Water Resource Management.

His presentation, “Protecting the Human Hands of Sustainability,” highlighted an often-overlooked part of sustainability efforts: the health and safety of workers facing extreme heat while managing critical water resources.

Dr. Koshy emphasized that public health serves as the bridge between technical science and real-world impact—turning knowledge into meaningful protection and support for people and communities.

We are proud to see our faculty contributing to global conversations on sustainability, worker safety, and public health. Rutgers School of Public Health
