OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH CERTIFICATE PROGRAM

Concerned about the safety of people at work and the related workplace hazards? This certificate program provides students with knowledge, skills, and solid training in the theories and practices of occupational safety and health. In addition to the fundamentals, students learn the management skills required to help them gain the know-how to oversee workplace safety programs.


To qualify for this certificate, you must complete the program within four years.

NOTE: Successfully completing all the courses in the program, and when applying for program certificate, students must provide proof of a valid St. John Ambulance Standard First Aid Certificate and CPR Basic Rescuer Training (Level A, B or C).

NOTE: Students in the Occupational Safety and Health Program who successfully complete MGT2396 Occupational Health and Safety will be given an equivalency for OHS4010 Health and Safety Program Management. Note that MGT2396 was formerly called HLT2300. Either course is equivalent to OHS4010 for the purposes of the Occupational Safety and Health Program.
