Graduate Certificate Occupational Health & Safety Management (Co-op)

The Graduate Certificate Occupational Health & Safety Management (Co-op) at Lambton College's Sarnia campus is a graduate certificate that gives you a strong, career-focused, hands-on education in this field.

This post-graduate program builds advanced occupational health and safety expertise on top of your existing qualification — OHS law, hazard and risk management, safety programs, incident investigation, ergonomics and leadership — through applied learning. 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 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 Manager, Occupational Health & Safety Officer and Safety Compliance Specialist, 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.
