Focus in Occupational and
Environmental Safety and Health

Employers are increasingly concerned with the environmental factors that can affect the workplace and its neighbors. Also of interest is the prevention of occupational injuries and illnesses. This has created a demand for individuals with specialized training in maintaining a workplace that complies with Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s and Environmental Protection Agency’s regulations. The Occupational and Environmental Safety and Health focus will provide training in these areas.
