The Workers Health & Safety Centre (WHSC) Level 1 Occupational Health & Safety training is one of many courses being offered at Durham College over the winter and spring 2010 sessions. Each of these WHSC courses is part of Durham College's health & safety labour studies certificate program.

Those enrolling in this certificate program are required to complete the following WHSC programs:
