Cert in Certificat en santé et sécurité au travail

This certificate prepares intervention specialists to identify, assess and prevent workplace health and safety risks. Over 30 credits on the Trois-Rivieres campus, offered full-time or part-time, seven required courses cover occupational disease, industrial hygiene, industrial safety, ergonomics, industrial processes and prevention legislation, building toward a capstone application project, plus nine elective credits chosen with the programme director's approval. Graduates are prepared to help implement, evaluate and manage workplace accident-prevention programmes, with paid internships, laboratory access and close faculty mentorship available. Admission follows a Quebec college diploma (DEC), a first-cycle university diploma with basic science knowledge, or a high-school diploma (DES) plus at least two years of experience in occupational health and safety or hazardous work environments; applicants from outside Quebec need thirteen years of pre-university education or twelve years plus one university year. Admission is offered in the fall, winter and summer terms, and international applicants are admitted in the fall and winter terms only and must study full-time.
