The Bachelor of Science in Occupational Health, Safety and Environment (B.Sc. OHSE) is a four-year degree that prepares graduates to anticipate, identify, control, and evaluate workplace hazards and for professional management roles. The program is founded on current best practices in OHSE and embeds competences and certifications from the International Network of Safety & Health Professional Organizations (INSHPO), the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH), and the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH). An integration of theory with application in laboratory and diverse work placements prepares graduates to join the workforce as autonomous and competent practitioners who can promote professional and ethical behavior, identify health, safety and environmental hazards in the workplace, assess the risk of those hazards, and implement control measures including health, safety and environmental laws, standards, and international best practices to eliminate or minimize those risks. Graduates are employed in a variety of industries, including construction, manufacturing, health care, education, and oil and gas.
