Carceral settings provide different challenges for climate-related hazards and require different solutions. Learners will explore some of the occupational and environmental hazards people who live and work in carceral settings contend with, identify potential mitigation strategies, and outline gaps and limitations of proposed solutions.
By the end of this activity, learners will be able to:
Betsey Noth, PhD, CIH, is Co-Director of the Northern California Education and Research Center Industrial Hygiene Program. She is an exposure assessment scientist with over 20 years of experience in air pollution exposure assessment for both occupational and environmental research studies. Her research has focused on air pollution exposures that are either extremely high (e.g., polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon exposures to wildland firefighters and communities during wildfires) or impact vulnerable populations (e.g., children and pregnant women, incarcerated populations).
The Center for Occupational and Environmental Health designates this activity for a maximum of 1.0 Contact Hour. Participants should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation.
Certificates of Completion will be available to webinar participants who are present for the complete, live webinar, and logged in with their registered email address. Call-in attendees are not eligible for certificates at this time - Please download the Zoom app to log in via email on your smartphone whenever possible.
In order to receive your Certificate of Completion, qualified learners must complete the post-webinar evaluation within 7 days of the webinar. A link to the evaluation will be emailed to qualified learners 24 hours after the webinar via no-reply@zoom.us. Qualified learners who submit their evaluation will receive a Certificate of Completion via email, and can also print/save the certificate from their browser after submitting their evaluation.
If you're not able to attend the live presentation, no problem! We record most presentations and will host them on our website provided we have permission to do so. Presentation recordings are not eligible for Certificates of Completion.

The goal of the Northern California ERC, a consortium of programs at the University of California’s Center of Occupational and Environmental Health, is to train professionals as practitioner and research leaders in occupational safety and health by offering graduate degrees, residency training, clinical experiences, and research mentorship to trainees. The aim of the ERC is to provide a broad, multidisciplinary educational experience involving student and faculty collaborations in the classroom, laboratory, and field. Through academic training, research, and community service projects, our faculty and trainees address ongoing and emerging challenges facing US Workers. Activities are grounded in multi-campus, interactive teaching programs that translate knowledge into information that can be used to improve worker safety and health.
