(5 credits)

The course examines the application of psychological theory and principles in protecting and promoting the health, safety, and well-being of workers and improving the quality of their work life. The focus is on identifying workplace interventions to reduce workers' exposure to hazards, while promoting individual interventions to equip workers with knowledge and resources to control and mitigate hazards in the work environment. Issues such as workplace stress, bullying, and violence are also considered along with the more traditional emphasis on accident investigation and accident prevention tied to safety management.
