With continued growth of job opportunities in this field, Waldorf’s bachelor’s degree in Occupational Safety provides both foundational and advanced knowledge of the discipline of occupational safety. Learners explore a variety of technical areas within safety including industrial hygiene, construction safety, fire safety, and risk management. In addition, students are immersed in management topics that are critical to the initial implementation of a safety program as well as the maintenance of an organization’s peak safety performance. The bachelor’s degree is designed for students with no prior safety experience who are seeking to become entry-level safety professionals in industries such as manufacturing, construction, and fire science. The program is also well-suited for students who may already have occupational safety experience but desire to become a formally degreed safety professional.
The Board of Certified Safety Professionals will recognize Waldorf's B.A.S. in Occupational Safety degree for the application process under the Associate Safety Professional designation and the Certified Safety Professional designation.
