Occupational Health and Safety

The SDI Group has been a part of the Co op program for the last 13 years. We have supported many students in providing a well rounded experience and mentorship as part of their education. A student being able to be in the field and working directly with the health and safety organization, complements their education by actual practical experience in a variety of areas.

During their four month intern they will be engaged in several objectives both within SDI and for our client base. Our challenge and opportunity are to review key clients health and safety management systems and provide solutions on where we can improve performance. This is through training and procedural updates. The areas are learning and providing input into how controls can be put in place for occupational hygiene work conducted. Lastly, updating formal hazard assessments based on work environments and proper controls can reduce incidents.

The student will first go through a detailed orientation provided by the SDI Group before work is to be performed. From there project work will be presented in the first month.
