The Professional Master’s in Occupational Safety and Health (PMOSH) program provides industry professionals with a blend of business, leadership and advanced technical skills to effectively design and implement a safety risk management system in a wide range of organizations. The program’s main objective is to equip students with the knowledge and skills to make a positive impact on the health, safety, welfare, and in the wellbeing of the labor force through safety and health programs.

PMOSH students gain hands-on experience with creating safety action plans and solving real problems through applied-learning exercises, site visits, case studies and capstone projects. The degree program’s learning outcomes include how to:

• Apply the analytical, technological and business concepts necessary to measure, improve and sustain safety and health performance.
• Convey the value of effective safety and health management through a rigorous cost-benefit analysis.
• Develop a safety risk-management guide to institutionalize occupational safety and health in an organization.
