Assessment and Safety Compliance Specialist (6020)

The Assessment and Safety Compliance Specialist Technical Certificate will supply well-trained workers with broad perspective on the environment and safety.

Employers are required to protect and to preserve the well-being and health of their employees. Although this may be a primary duty or a collateral duty for personnel, every company must assign these responsibilities to someone.
