Total Worker Health®: Advancing Well-Being in the Workplace March 23 - May 4, 2026 Total Worker Health is a comprehensive, research-to-practice approach that supports well-integrated policies, programs, and practices to protect workers from different work-related safety and health hazards and promote worker well-being. This course is designed to equip working professionals to apply the Total Worker Health approach in their own organization and to communicate with various stakeholders about its value. It focuses on evidence-informed solutions rooted in safety science, occupational health psychology, and human and organizational performance goals. This 26- hour course involves completing 10 hours of virtual instructor-led class time and 16 hours of self-paced e-learning over 6 weeks. Enrolled participants are required to follow the sequence of the self-paced modules using Canvas Learning Management System and to attend three pre-scheduled virtual instructor-led sessions using Zoom Video Conference format.

This course is offered twice a year: in the Spring and the Fall. This course serves as the key required course for individuals enrolling in the joint UW DEOHS CE/OHWC Total Worker Health Certificate Program. Individuals not seeking the Certificate may enroll and attend the course as a standalone.

Two overlapping human head silhouettes in profile — one red with a tangled, chaotic line pattern inside the brain area, and one blue with an organized spiral pattern inside the brain area. The overlapping section creates a purple blend between them. The image is set against a soft, blurred grey bokeh background. The visual symbolizes the transition from mental chaos or struggle to clarity and order, representing recovery and mental wellness.
