UCD Centre for Safety and Health at Work

The UCD Centre for Safety and Health at Work (CSHW) is an award-winning academic centre within the School of Public Health, Physiotherapy and Sports Science. All of the above OSH courses are offered via the CSHW.

The CSHW has successfully guided over 9,000 candidates through comprehensive safety and health education since 1990. Preventing injury and illness is as important now, as it ever was, and research shows that ensuring the health of your workers makes good business and economic sense. The Barrington Report (1983) recommended multidisciplinary training for all relevant professions, and this, along with the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act, 1989 and subsequent legislation, guidance, and best practice, has served the profession well.

The CSHW provides professional, multidisciplinary OSH education and training commensurate with their role for employees with OSH responsibility. The programmes address the training needs of industry-wide, geographically spread, part-time, busy, working adult students and their employers. The suite of programmes (NFQ level 7 to 9) uses a variety of learning approaches including part-time, face-to-face, online, and distance learning, thereby reducing time spent both commuting or away from work.
