About this programme

This program is a great fit if you're looking to enter the occupational health and safety profession, are already working in occupational health and safety and want to expand your career opportunities, or are considering to write the Canadian Registered Safety Professional exam or Canadian Registered Safety Technician exam. Some programs offered online or otherwise by distance (i.e., correspondence) include on-site labs, clinicals, practicums or work experiences. They may be offered course-by-course or full-time, or both, and deliveries may change over time. Employers nationwide, from natural resource companies to hospitals and schools to manufacturers and office-based businesses, must conform to occupational health and safety legislation. As legislation and standards become multifaceted, demand for qualified Occupational Health and Safety professionals grows.
