Center for Environmental Education and Training

The Saint Louis University Center for Environmental Education and Training (CEET) mission is to provide high-quality occupational environmental, health and safety training that empowers workers to stay safe on the job and positively impact their communities.

Authorized by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as a Region VII OSHA Training Institute Education Center, we believe everyone deserves a safe and healthy workplace and that workplace safety and social justice are interconnected. We are committed to delivering training that meets regulatory requirements and strives to create a safety and social responsibility culture by equipping workers with the knowledge, skills and tools to identify and prevent workplace hazards, clean up environmental hazards, protect their rights, and advocate for change.

All courses are appropriately authorized or accredited by state and federal entities so you can be certain you receive quality training that meets compliance criteria. SLU instructors are environmental health and safety professionals with qualifications and certificates suitable for their assignments. They have a wide range of backgrounds, including business, industry, health care, armed forces, regulatory agencies, research, and academics. They bring a wealth of experience to these courses to help you achieve your goals. Continuing education credits (CEUs) are available.
