50 years of osha guidelines promoting workplace safety It’s been 50 years since the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was established to address reducing workplace fatalities, injuries and illnesses. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, workplace fatalities have decreased about 60% since then, with injuries and illnesses also falling significantly. UD’s Division of Professional and Continuing Studies (UD PCS) is proud to partner with the Delaware Valley Safety Council (DVSC) to help meet the need for training in safety and OSHA compliance by offering professional education programs. Starting in 2015, UD PCS, in partnership with DVSC, offered the first Delaware-based offerings of the nationally-recognized Certified Occupational Safety Specialist (COSS) designation. Taught by authorized OSHA outreach trainers, the COSS program, as well as the Certificate for Occupational Safety Managers (COSM) and SAF Frontline Safety Training programs, have since been adapted to offer online program delivery options in addition to in-person offerings. UD PCS looks forward to a continued partnership with DVSC in support of DVSC’s stated mission to “bring every worker home safely at the end of their workday.”
