Safety, Health & Environmental Awareness
The Safety, Health & Environmental
Awareness certificate develops entry level
skills in industrial safety, 
health,
and environmental awareness.
Courses combine the technical know how,
use of state-of-the-art equipment,
and hands-on experience
necessary for students to obtain work
in a variety of safety-related fields to include accident
investigation, monitoring and enforcement of
codes, ergonomics, and Occupational Safety Health
Administration (OSHA) requirements.
Combining the requirements as set forth by the
Board of Certified Safety Professionals with the skills learned in this program, students will be able
to qualify to take an
entry-level Associate
Safety Professional
Exam. Industry partners
recognize this certification.
Individuals holding
this certification are
sought-after by industry partners to fill entry-level
safety positions throughout the state. Positions
include, but are not limited to, safety professionals in
construction trades, risk management and insurance
safety investigators, and entry level OSHA positions.
As industries expand
and automate, the need
for qualified safety
technicians increases.
This need is currently
being addressed by the
American Society of
Safety Engineers
(ASSE). TVC and the
Process Technology
Program are active
members of this national
organization.
