Bachelor of Science Degree OSHE
After nineteen years of offering programmes in Occupational Safety and Health and Environmental Management, the Cipriani College of Labour and Cooperative Studies is now prepared to offer the Bachelor of Science Degree in Occupational Safety, Health and the Environment in response to the needs of its stakeholders. CCLCS first offered the one year Certificate in Occupational Safety and Health in the 1988-1989 academic years. This was followed five years later by the Diploma in 1993-1994 and the Certificate in Environmental Management. The Diploma in Environmental Management followed four years later.
Eight years after offering the Diploma in Occupational Safety and Health, the College arrived at another milestone –the development of the Associate of Science Degree in Occupational Safety and Health, followed by the Associate of Science in Environmental Management. Four years later, the College is creating history again, as it prepares to offer the Bachelor of Science in Occupational Safety, Health and the Environment for the 2007-2008 Academic Year.
All of the College’s programmes have been developed in consultation with our stakeholders to specifically serve the needs of the country and the region, while at the same time offering our students a level of quality which would allow them to compete globally in their chosen field. The graduate of this programme would be able to:
- Explore the procedures and techniques to develop health and safety policies and safe systems of work
- Design, manage and monitor health and safety performance
- Manage the process and hazards at work
- Access and critically analyze sources of health and safety information
