The Occupational Safety and Health worker implements mandated health and safety regulations in an effort to control occupational accidents and diseases, property losses and injuries due to unsafe working conditions. The safety and health worker may specialize in fire and property, chemical and radiological safety, emergency response, general workplace safety, transportation, construction, systems or product design.
Classes in the program can be applied towards Continuing Education Units for Registered Nurses and Licensed Vocational Nurses and OHST (Occupational Health and Safety Technician) certification.
Having the Certificate demonstrates your proficiency in specified skills. The Associate of Science (AS) Degree is recommended for students who wish to go on to a 4-year degree program. The AS includes the Certificate, plus additional Science, Math and General Education. Students with the AS degree will also have demonstrated a broader educational basis and writing ability that can give them an advantage for promotional opportunities in the future. While units in this program are transferable to many institutions, students should consult a counselor for information.
