Safety & Health Extension

WVU Safety & Health Extension provides comprehensive training and resources to ensure the well-being of our residents and workforce. From OSHA-certified courses and first aid training to specialized programs for industries like oil and gas, we provide the hands-on education and expert guidance needed to build a safer, healthier workforce.

But we can’t do it alone. Your support helps us expand critical training programs, improve workplace safety, and prepare workers for the jobs of tomorrow.

Through the Shirley M. Kimble Training Center, we offer a wide range of courses, including OSHA certifications, first aid and CPR training, and specialized programs tailored to industries such as oil and gas. Our micro-credentialing programs provide individuals with recognized credentials that enhance their professional qualifications. By working hand-in-hand with industry leaders, we develop innovative courses that not only keep employees safe but also strengthen West Virginia’s workforce pipeline—ensuring workers have the skills they need to succeed in high-demand fields.

The West Virginia State Fire Academy plays a critical role in shaping the next generation of firefighters. As the state’s premier training center for firefighters, we provide real-world, hands-on instruction that ensures our firefighters are ready for any challenge.

Through programs like the Junior Firefighter Camp, we’re inspiring and training young individuals who will one day be on the front lines, protecting our communities. Training the next generation of firefighters is crucial to maintaining public safety and protecting communities across our state.

Your support helps us continue to offer these vital programs, ensuring that West Virginia’s residents and industries have access to top-tier safety and health education.

Click the GIVE button to make a difference where it matters most! A gift as small as $5 helps expand vital programs—and every donation brings us one step closer to winning hourly challenges and ensuring that West Virginia’s safety and health standards continue to rise.
