We have years of experience delivering this qualification, and safety training generally, across the range of industries we serve. We have supported individuals with both technical guidance and mentoring as part of the programs we run. If you work in an industry with a medium to high risk profile, such as construction, transport, logistics, mining, or oil and gas, you will find this qualification particularly valuable.
Everyone is. Some duties sit naturally at an organisational level, such as the purchase of machinery and equipment that meets safety and risk minimisation goals. But it is not a one-sided obligation: everyone has a responsibility to proactively raise issues and potential hazards.
There is much nuance to WHS across an organisation, and this qualification helps anchor it. WorkSafe Queensland’s Safety Fundamentals is a useful overview, covering commitment, managing risks, consultation, reporting, worker capability, working environment, and workers’ compensation and recovery.
All work carries some risk. This is an entry level qualification that gives you an appreciation of WHS to apply in your current role or a future one. A core part of its intent is the importance of worker consultation at each step of the risk management process, and of ensuring workers genuinely understand risks and control measures.
