Academic Support Program

The CCOHS Academic Support Program is offered exclusively to universities and colleges as both a tool to educate students about environmental and occupational health and safety and as a guide to assist Universities and Colleges in their efforts to achieve a safe and healthy working environment.

Educational institutions that participate in the program pay an annual subscription fee based on the number of full time students:

Level A – up to 50,000 full time students = $ 1000

Level B – 50,000 to 100,000 full time students = $ 2000

Level C – over 100,000 full time students = $ 3000

*Canadian dollars in Canada, US dollars elsewhere

This fee provides unlimited access to CCOHS databases and technical support.

Databases included in the program

Together these databases provide information on a broad range of environmental and occupational health and safety topics.

CD-ROM Network

These databases will be delivered on a series of CD-ROMs. They can be installed on any network (preferably Windows NT or Novell). These products can run on Macintosh; (PowerPC), Windows 95 or greater and Windows NT systems.

CD-ROMs Only

You will require multiple CD-ROM players and approximately 10 MB of network hard drive space. Contact CCOHS Client Services for exact number of CD-ROM players required.

Network Drive Only (copy all CD-ROMs onto a network drive) Contact CCOHS Client Services for approximate amount of hard disk space required.

Mix and Match

If an institution has a mixture of unused CD-ROM players and unused network hard disk space, it can install some discs in the CD-ROM players and copy the content of others to the network hard disk. Contact CCOHS Client Services for approximate amount of hard disk space required.

Institutions can copy one or more of the CD-ROMs to their network hard drive and leave the remaining databases for access from CD-ROM player(s).
