# Occupational Safety and Health Student Resources

Students who earn a degree in occupational health and safety will be prepared for rewarding careers protecting the health and well-being of employees by evaluating and controlling hazards in the workplace.

## Jobs in Occupational Safety

## Occupational Safety Career Information

Professional Work

Occupational health and safety (OHS) professionals work to keep people safe and healthy while on the job. This is done by recognizing, evaluating, and controlling workplace hazards.

About 80% of our graduates receive starting salaries over $50,000 per year, and many will earn over $100,000 per year after several years of experience (see: Safety Industry Salary Survey).
