The Rocky Mountain Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (RMCOEH) at the University of Utah has been a partially-funded National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Education and Research Center since 1978. The Continuing Education (CE) component of the Center was initiated in 1979. The program’s mission is to reduce human and financial costs by providing excellent short-course training in occupational safety and health that is marked by continuous improvement and response to needs, setting the highest standards for both internal and external service. For over 25 years, hundreds of programs, consisting of courses, lectures and conferences, have linked practicing professionals in academic institutions, government agencies, industrial settings and private businesses.

As part of these programs, the RMCOEH offers training in lead-based paint abatement. The RMCOEH began this training effort in partnership with the University of Kansas as a Regional Lead Training Center in 1992 funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It has been conducting initial inspector, risk assessor and supervisor courses since that time. It also offers refresher courses associated with those disciplines.
