The Rise of Work Health and Safety

We have seen and are continuing to see an increased number of enquiries and enrolments for this qualification. We think there has been an awakening within management of companies small and large that Safety really is not something you just pay lip service to and this has most likely been prompted by several recent high profile incidents in the workplace that have unfortunately had catastrophic outcomes.

Someone asked me the other day why the course has so much reference to legislation in it. I was quite dumbfounded because legislation guides everything to do with Safety in the workplace. You do not need to be a Lawyer to understand what the elements say and our Trainers will help you understand the words and their intent. Eg in the Act ,Subdivision 2 Clause 18 deals with What is reasonably practicable. We help you understand what this means, if a brick is thrown over the fence by an unknown person and it hits a worker is that reasonably practicable? What about if a boiler explodes as a worker is walking past it in the walkway? It takes time to go through the legislation in a simple and pragmatic way, this way everyone understands it. This legislation saves lives!
