James D. McGlothlin's work centers on occupational health and safety, focusing on how workers are exposed to hazardous substances like solvents, wood dust, and anesthetic gases, and on ergonomic risks tied to musculoskeletal disorders. His research spans workplace exposure monitoring techniques, safety interventions (like PPE and scavenging systems for waste anesthetic gases), and some more recent forays into data analytics and assistive technology for clinical and disability-related settings. The work draws on real-world workplace and healthcare environments, using both monitoring technology and epidemiological methods.
