Courses

The Continuing Education programs offered by the UW Department of Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences provide workplace safety and health training for the fields of general industry, construction, agriculture and the maritime industries.

We serve four states—Washington, Alaska, Oregon and Idaho—with monthly in-person courses, as well as on-demand programs and online virtual instruction led by our expert instructors.

We are the home of the Pacific Northwest OSHA Education Center—the only training facility authorized by OSHA in our region—offering continuing education courses on federal and state safety and health regulations. 

We are also home to the Northwest Center for Occupational Health & Safety (NWCOHS). NWCOHS prepares graduate students for careers in occupational health and safety through training programs in occupational medicine, occupational health nursing, industrial hygiene, safety, hazardous materials management, leadership, green chemistry and related disciplines. The NWCOHS Continuing Education Programs provide professional development opportunities for health and safety professionals.
