About COEH
The Northern California Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (COEH), a multidisciplinary program of the University of California at Berkeley, Davis, and San Francisco, promotes health and safety in workplaces and communities by:
- Educating health professionals in epidemiology, ergonomics, industrial hygiene, medicine, nursing, toxicology, and related fields to be leaders in occupational and environmental health.
- Developing new knowledge through an interdisciplinary research agenda focused on preventing illness and injury.
- Responding to the needs of people affected by hazards in their workplaces or communities, with special attention to vulnerable populations.
Through these activities COEH supports federal, state, and local agencies, health and safety professionals, industry, labor, and community-based organizations in their efforts to prevent occupational and environmental disease and injury.
COEH is an Education and Research Center (ERC) of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
