Global

environmental problems such as climate change, pollution and depletion of

natural resources have adversely affected human health and caused more

diseases. It has become an important global agenda which leads to the

emergence of environmental protection legalisations related to the control of

hazardous substances, green technologies, green materials and waste treatment

technologies.

Similarly, work environment has changed drastically with concerns of

employees being exposed to hazardous substances, heavy machineries and

occupational diseases. Since the passing of the Occupational Safety and

Health Act, much of the attention has been on employers to protect their

employees from workplace hazards.

The Bachelor of Science (Hons) Environemental, Occupational Safety and

Health is a unique multidisciplinary programme that combines the study of

'environmental health' and 'occupational safety and health'.

This programme provides a coherent body of professional knowledge,

technical skills and soft skills with the aims to produce competent

professionals who can adapt to different roles and responsibilities in a

challenging and dynamic work environment.
