Many industries, ranging from construction and manufacturing to energy and health care are seeking specially trained workers to support and promote healthier workplaces. The Workplace Safety & Prevention Technician program is uniquely designed to assist students in identifying, assessing, and managing risks in a variety of work environments. Graduates can expect to attain the competencies required to effectively implement and evaluate health and safety systems in occupational settings.
Program curriculum defines health and safety objectives and students develop corresponding policies and procedures. Emphasis is placed upon the understanding of legislation and recognizing, preventing, and evaluating workplace hazards. Students also develop the skills necessary to identify and report on safety and health conditions in a workplace.
Collaborative Approach
This program is delivered in partnership with Seneca and Cambrian Colleges. Students are taught from faculty from all three colleges and will study alongside students from Cambrian, Seneca and Lambton. Core curriculum is shared by all three institutions which means a significant number of core courses will be delivered remotely through online platforms like Microsoft Teams and Zoom. Students are expected to have a personal device, such as a laptop, which will allow them to login to the virtual classroom and engage in live lectures.
Accreditation
Graduates from this program meet the requirements set out by the Board of Canadian Registered Safety Professionals (BCRSP) and are qualified to write the Canadian Registered Safety Technician (CRST) examination to earn the CRST designation. Upon completion of additional relevant occupational health and safety experience, graduates are able to apply for the Board of Registered Safety Professional (CRSP) certification.
