This certificate in occupational health and safety introduces students to the core issues of workplace health and safety through a multidisciplinary approach. The 30-credit program develops three complementary areas: knowledge of the main health-and-safety issues facing workplaces, understanding of the institutional and sociopolitical context surrounding them, and practical intervention methods for reducing risk. It is offered part-time at the Gatineau campus, with admission in fall, winter, and summer terms. The certificate suits workplace professionals and career-changers seeking a grounding in occupational health and safety practice, prevention, and regulation, and it can serve as a standalone credential or as a foundation for further study or professional development in the field, alongside continued employment in an operations, human-resources, or dedicated safety role.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission runs through three pathways. Applicants may hold a Quebec DEC or equivalent; have completed at least 15 university credits with a cumulative average of 2.0/4.3 or equivalent; or demonstrate 24 months of full-time work experience, or 12 months in related tasks, in occupational health and safety.
