Program Outline and Courses
Outline
This Certificate program is offered at two distinct levels:
Foundation Level: (all required)
The Foundations Level equips learners with the 'boot camp' skills needed to effectively provide entry-level safety services in any industry. Understanding the basics of incident causation, organizational behaviour, risk assessment, occupational hygiene, environmental ecology basics and models of safety management are not options - they are required skills for today's safety practitioner.
Advanced Level Certificate: (0400 + practicum are required plus they choose four others)
The Advanced Level prepares learners for leadership roles in OSHE by enhancing critical thinking and developing advanced process skills. It requires four courses from a list of electives, one required course, plus a guided practicum, providing an opportunity for students to apply what they have learned in the courses to work place environments.
Course Descriptions
Foundations Level Certificate
CHSE 0100 - Management and Organizational Behaviour
Instructor(s): Steve Hazzard
Organizations "think" and "feel", just like individuals. It's not enough to simply speak the language of management. Effective interaction now demands that one is able to "think" management thought forms.
CHSE 0101 - Introduction to Management and Organizational Behaviour
CHSE 0102 - Planning: Forecasting the Future
CHSE 0103 - Organizing: Making the Pieces Fit
CHSE 0104 - Leading: Motivating Towards Excellence
CHSE 0105 - Controlling: Minding the P's & Q's
CHSE 0106 - Healthy Organizational Change
CHSE 0107 - Doing It Right: Ethics & Social Conscience
CHSE 0108 - Teamwork: Effective Work Groups
CHSE 0109 - Communication and Conflict Management
CHSE 0200 - Accident Causation and Investigation
Instructor(s): Peter Crisp
What an organization "believes" about the causes of accidents drives the corrective actions they take, or don't take. Traditional causation models focus largely on "unsafe acts and conditions". These models often result in labour/management confrontations with management blaming workers and workers blaming management. In this course, learners will learn a "systems-failure" model that engages all stakeholders, and shifts from a "blame-based" approach to a more progressive and effective accident causation belief system.
ALL modules within this course are currently available for instruction.
CHSE 0201 - Types of Investigation
CHSE 0202 - Incident Causation Models
CHSE 0203 - Relationship Between Causation Belief and Organizational Culture
CHSE 0204 - Accident investigation (1)
CHSE 0205 - Accident investigation (2)

CHSE 0207 - Developing Recommendations
CHSE 0208 - Linking investigation to organizational values
CHSE 0300 - Risk Assessment
Instructor(s): Don Sayers, Sabrina Atwater, Jim Montgomery
Identifying, prioritizing and managing risks to prevent accidents and injuries is much more cost effective than administering losses. This course examines several basic risk assessment skills and tools that enable employees closest to risks to deal with them proactively. Learners will also discover how to apply these tools by becoming familiar with the process, needed resources, and practical examples for each method. Fostering collaboration among stakeholders to identify and prioritize workplace risks provides the focus and intended outcome for learning and applying these tools.
CHSE 0301 - Identifying, Prioritizing, and Managing Risks vs. Reacting to a Loss or Regulatory
Intervention
CHSE 0302 - Risk Assessment
CHSE 0303 - Introduction to Inferential Statistics for OSHE

CHSE 0305 - Inspections
CHSE 0306 - Gap Analyses and Perception Surveys
CHSE 0307 - Fault Tree Analysis
CHSE 0700 - Approaches to Safety Management
Instructor(s): Peter Crisp
A fundamental requirement of any management system is the establishment of means to adequately prevent losses to the organization's resources. In most jurisdictions, a primary focus of any "safety" program is compliance with regulatory standards. This is typically an ineffective approach to reducing workplace losses. The field of health and safety has matured, and offers a variety of approaches to accomplishing this prevention goal.

We humans are complex creatures. When we're healthy, we're able to contribute richly to personal and corporate goals. If some part of our being is not healthy, it impacts our whole life. Many variables in our lives and our workplaces impact that state of "wellness". Understanding those variables, and having some tools to manage their impact, are key to a highly effective health, safety and environmental management program.

Traditional health, safety and environmental management programs are "owned" by senior management. Organizational cultures are undergoing massive changes, and traditional approaches no longer apply in many sectors. Effective health, safety and environmental management programs are driven by all stakeholders that are impacted by them, in most cases, this means that those on "the shop floor" must learn new process skills to enable their participation. As well, managers must learn to develop high-trust relationships with employees, and to develop and create a working environment where these new skills are consistently expected and rewarded.

CHSE 1300 - CHSEP Independent Study
From time to time, learners will find certain subject matter of particular interest to them, and want to explore it further. Although this can be done independent of the CHSEP program, it may be possible to achieve credit for this independent study, providing the direction and content of the study is consistent with the goals of CHSEP. This elective option is for learners who wish to drill down into a topic to meet personal learning needs specific to their own operational environment. In this course, learners will establish their own learning goals, review a text(s) and review journal articles related to their learning goals, and write a paper outlining what they've achieved. Supervision is provided through each of these phases, and the final grade is weighted to recognize efforts in each of these tasks.

CHSE 2000 - Practicum
Upon completion of the courses (or equivalent), learners will undertake a Guided Practicum. Here, students will choose from four options, including development of a comprehensive program in a particular context, a detailed program addressing a particular risk issue, development of a business case for their current OSHE Program, or another similar option.
The Practicum will be evaluated on the basis of application of content from the courses, additional research, and the utility of the project. Learners will be coached through the entire process, starting with a review of a proposal, and feedback at key points through the entire Practicum project.
Certificate Completion:
Upon successful completion of the Guided Practicum, the University will issue the Advanced Level Certificate in Health, Safety and Environmental Processes.
