Program overview
The Graduate Certificate in Occupational Health & Safety Management at Lambton College's Ottawa campus is a two-year post-graduate certificate that gives you an applied, career-focused education in this field.
This graduate certificate builds advanced occupational health and safety expertise — OHS law, hazard and risk management, safety programs, incident investigation, ergonomics and leadership — through applied learning, with a co-op option. Every industry needs qualified safety professionals. Graduates work as health and safety managers, officers and EHS specialists across construction, manufacturing, industry and the public sector.
Delivered at Lambton College's Ottawa campus (the Centre for Graduate Studies at Saint Paul University) — a collaboration between two public institutions, so unlike Lambton's Toronto and Mississauga partner campuses it is PGWP-capable. This program is on Lambton's official PGWP-Ready list (CIP 15.0701), so graduates may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit; the final decision rests with IRCC. Confirm the live intake, as Ottawa availability is currently limited.
Graduates are well placed for roles such as Health & Safety Manager, Occupational Health & Safety Officer and Safety Compliance Specialist, gaining a mix of theory, applied projects and real Canadian experience in the capital's strong job market.
Beyond technical knowledge, you will build the communication, teamwork and leadership skills that transfer across careers and support long-term success in Canada and beyond.
