Description

Environmental health and safety technicians help protect people and the environment from exposure to hazardous materials, and protect workers from injury or illness.

• Environmental technicians deal with conservation of resources, pollution prevention, water and air quality and waste disposal concerns.
• Safety professionals conduct training and investigate accidents. They may manage emergency preparedness, audits and inspections, fire protection and regulatory compliance.
• They diagnose equipment problems through the analysis of test results, machine error messages and information obtained from operators
• Companies often hire one person to manage all of the above responsibilities.

Classes start every eight weeks. Our MCC-BTC campus is one of the premier places in the nation to get health and safety education.
