Overview

A lot of work in the field is about prevention. When accidents do happen, occupational safety and health professionals use their expertise to identify the problem and develop plans to prevent accidents from happening again. Thanks to their efforts, people are able to return home from work healthy and whole, and employers can expect fewer losses from accidents.

Why study Occupational Safety and Health?

The Occupational Safety and Health program at Illinois State University takes confidence and experience to recognize and control workplace safety. Illinois State is home to one of only 20 accredited safety programs in the nation. It's also the only one offered in Illinois.

These include governmental agencies, consulting, manufacturing, agriculture, insurance, and construction. You'll work directly with professionals in the field, protecting people from harm in the workplace.
