Abstract Details

2004, Master of Technical and Scientific Communication, Miami University, Technical and Scientific Communication.
This report describes my internship as a technical writer/editor at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in Cincinnati, Ohio. NIOSH is the primary federal agency responsible for researching and making recommendations for workplace safety and health. As a technical writer, I wrote and designed a brochure about skin exposures to hazardous chemicals in the workplace. As a technical editor, I contributed final edits to the NIOSH Chartbook and completed several other editing projects for scientists in the Document Development Branch. In this report, I discuss how I performed my writing and editing tasks in accordance with the NIOSH document development process. I also describe the challenges I encountered as I analyzed and wrote for audiences with whom I had no direct contact. Finally, I reflect on how my internship experience at NIOSH affected my development as a technical and environmental communicator.
