This eight-month certificate program, made up of 16 courses, provides a foundational understanding of occupational health and safety practice. Delivered full-time through classroom instruction at the Notre Dame Campus, the program addresses the role and responsibilities of an occupational health and safety practitioner, including risk management, hazard recognition, control and prevention, and safety management systems in the workplace. It takes a multi-disciplinary approach to building a health and safety culture within organizations and includes a six-week workplace experience placement that gives students applied exposure to occupational health and safety functions in an employer setting. Graduates are prepared for entry-level roles supporting health and safety programs in industrial, commercial, and institutional workplaces across Manitoba.
