OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND<br />

HEALTH (107)<br />

Program Description<br />

In our ever changing occupational safety world the need for<br />

an advanced degree has become of paramount importance as<br />

occupational safety professionals seek to improve their skills<br />

for certification and promotion. To that end the <strong>Southeastern</strong><br />

<strong>Oklahoma</strong> <strong>State</strong> University Department of Occupational Safety<br />

& Health has designed the Master of Science in Occupational<br />

Safety & Health in a primarily online format so that safety<br />

professionals can benefit from the program regardless of their<br />

distance from the university. Founded in 1989 the <strong>Southeastern</strong><br />

<strong>Oklahoma</strong> <strong>State</strong> University Department of Occupational Safety<br />

& Health has grown to 300+ students majoring in occupational<br />

safety. We now claim over 1,200 alumni around the world!<br />

<strong>State</strong>ment of Objectives<br />

Consistent with <strong>Southeastern</strong>’s mission and regional focus<br />

the objectives for the proposed Master of Science in Occupational<br />

Safety & Health will prepare the student to:<br />

1. Demonstrate an advanced ability to analyze and<br />

interpret data by understanding fundamental<br />

mathematical concepts and to apply those concepts<br />

to practical situations in industry. Specifically,<br />

<strong>Southeastern</strong> graduates will be able to formulate and<br />

compile safety data and statistics necessary for Job<br />

Safety Analysis, Industrial and Insurance Hazard<br />

Assessments, and Fault Tree Analysis programs in<br />

insurance and industry.<br />

2. Anticipate, identify, and evaluate hazardous safety<br />

and health conditions and practices through use of<br />

JSA, FTA, ISO9000, and OSHA specs programs.<br />

3. Develop safety and health hazard control designs,<br />

methods, proc<strong>edu</strong>res, and programs including<br />

homeland security and emergency program<br />

management. <strong>Southeastern</strong> students should be<br />

able to complete FEMA program development<br />

coursework and apply it to real-world situations.<br />

4. Evaluate and utilize appropriate technology and<br />

library resources in occupational safety & health<br />

situations and training opportunities through<br />

extensive use of <strong>SE</strong> occupational safety & health<br />

computer lab programs and OSHA and AS<strong>SE</strong><br />

training seminars.<br />

5. Manifest oral and written communication skills in<br />

presentation of occupational safety and health<br />

training situations through advanced courses in<br />

management, ergonomics, industrial hygiene,<br />

HAZMAT, and systems safety.<br />

6. Work independently in analyzing and solving<br />

problems in occupational safety & health through<br />

proper instruction, practicum, and internship<br />

experience.<br />

7. Obtain an advanced position in occupational safety<br />

& health or be admitted to an accredited doctoral<br />

school in occupational safety & health or a related<br />

discipline.<br />
