Certificate in Environmental Health and Safety (EHS)

Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) has evolved from a compliance checkbox into a core business function, as organizations face growing pressure to protect their workforce, manage environmental impact, and meet expanding regulatory and ESG expectations. From occupational hazard control and industrial hygiene to sustainability disclosure and climate risk management, today's EHS professionals are expected to operate across a much wider scope than traditional workplace safety alone.

The Vskills Certified Environmental Health and Safety Professional course is a Govt. Certified program that builds comprehensive, up-to-date EHS expertise — covering regulatory compliance and global standards (ISO 45001, ISO 14001, ISO 50001), occupational health and safety, environmental management and sustainability, industrial hygiene, process safety management, emergency preparedness, risk assessment, psychosocial safety, and EHS digitalization — equipping learners to manage both the traditional and emerging dimensions of workplace and environmental safety.

Note: The course comes with online learning (LMS Account), no hard copy material.
