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. 2004-12-03 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1102077601 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1102077601 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
