This Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety is a 30-credit undergraduate program offered online (distance format) by the Universite de Sherbrooke's Ecole de gestion, with admission in the fall, winter (full-time or part-time) and summer (part-time only) terms. It gives students the multidisciplinary base knowledge and skills needed for effective occupational health and safety intervention. An 18-credit module covers legislation, labour-relations dynamics, occupational hygiene, prevention tools, workplace health, and the legal management of compensation and financing files; a further 12-credit module covers industrial processes and safety, intervention strategy, an intervention project, and the interaction between occupational health and safety and the environment. Once completed, the certificate gives access to the examination for the Canadian Registered Safety Technician (TSAC) certification. It is aimed at supervisors, human-resources managers and members of occupational-health-and-safety committees.
