The objective of our Occupational Health and Safety Program is to train "occupational safety technicians" who understand the concept of Occupational Health and Safety, can identify deficiencies in the field, tackle problems and produce analytical solutions, and apply their knowledge in practice. These technicians will work towards reducing occupational diseases and workplace accidents, possessing the necessary skills and competence to protect and enhance the health and safety of employees.
Our graduates are capable of following and interpreting legal regulations and acting in accordance with professional ethical rules. They are qualified to monitor working conditions in both the manufacturing and service sectors, providing guidance to employers on occupational health and safety matters, and can commence their professional careers immediately. Additionally, during the two-year education process, they have opportunities for practical applications in various sectors through internships and on-site application courses alongside theoretical classes. This allows them to adapt quickly to the working environment and, after passing the specialization exam, they are entitled to become Class C, Class B, and Class A occupational safety experts.
