OESH encompasses the study of: Accident Prevention, Health Engineering Controls, Loss Control, Environmental Regulation, and Property Protection. The course of study deals with the management of risk to enhance the health, safety, and productivity of employees and an organization’s compliance with the various governmental regulations.

Driver Education Licensure is part of the Occupational and Environmental Safety & Health Department curriculum. This is a Department of Public Instruction approved program which provides current or potential licensed teachers an additional certification to teach driver’s education. This is not a stand alone certification/licensure.

Industrial Accident Prevention is an appropriate course for students entering business and occupational professions.
