Division of Applied Research and Technology
The Division of Applied Research and Technology (DART) focuses on the prevention of occupational illness and injury by conducting research in
- Exposure Sciences (to identify and measure chemical, physical, and biological hazards),
- Interventions and Controls (to reduce exposure to hazards), and
- Human and Social Factors (to develop ways to reduce musculoskeletal disorders or to examine work organization factors and their impact on health)
DART chemists, engineers, biologists, toxicologists, psychologists, and other scientists are active in field and laboratory research, information sharing, demonstrations, partnerships, and technology transfer efforts ensure the utility and impact of DART research.
