Health and safety in the workplaces–what can OSHA do for you?

Technicians for Change: I used to work as a technician in the performing arts. I was primarily a scenic artist, but also dabbled in props, scenic carpentry, general stage operations, electrics, and stage management. After the 2008 recession eliminated my job prospects for (at the time) the foreseeable future, I went to graduate school for health and safety and became an industrial hygienist. Now I work at a contract development and manufacturing organization that specializes in finding novel ways to get medicines to the right places in people’s bodies as efficiently as possible.
