In 1987 the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded the University of Cincinnati a Workforce Development Training Grant to teach emergency response and the handling of hazardous waste to workers and their communities. The University of Cincinnati Department of Environmental Health formed the "Midwest Consortium Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program," headed by Dr. Carol Rice and comprised of nine organizations headquartered throughout the Midwest region of the United States. The Greater Cincinnati Occupational Health Center is a founding member of this consortium and is responsible for training workers and industry throughout the state of Ohio.
