Diploma in Workplace Safety & Prevention

The Diploma in Workplace Safety & Prevention at Lambton College's Sarnia campus is a two-year college diploma that gives you a strong, career-focused, hands-on education in this field.

You will learn to make workplaces safer — occupational health and safety law, hazard identification, risk assessment, incident investigation, ergonomics and prevention programs — through applied, practical study. Employers across every industry need qualified safety staff. Graduates work as health and safety coordinators, safety officers and prevention specialists in construction, manufacturing, industry and the public sector.

Delivered with hands-on labs and placements at Lambton College's Sarnia campus in Ontario — an affordable college in Canada's industrial heartland. 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 always rests with IRCC.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Health & Safety Coordinator, Safety Officer and Workplace Safety Advisor, leaving with practical, hands-on skills and real Canadian experience that employers value.

Beyond technical training, you will build the communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and support long-term success in Canada and beyond.
