Occupational Health and Safety
There are two qualifications in The Australian Security Academy Occupational Health and Safety program. The Certificate IV in Occupational Health and Safety qualification reflects the role of individuals who use well-developed skills and a broad knowledge base in a wide variety of contexts.
They apply solutions to a defined range of unpredictable problems, and analyse and evaluate information from a variety of sources. They may provide leadership and guidance to others with some limited responsibility for the output of others. This qualification would suit an OHS officer in a full-time dedicated role who works under the supervision of an OHS Coordinator or OHS Manager.
The Diploma of Occupational Health and Safety qualification reflects the role of individuals who coordinate and maintain the OHS program within an organisation. Individuals would possess a sound theoretical knowledge base and use a range of specialised, technical or managerial competencies to plan, carry out and evaluate their own work and the work of others with safety responsibilities.
