Finally a management level qualification but with no pre-requisites for enrolment…
Where can this course take you?
Compliance with work health and safety laws is mandatory, and many courses and individual units educate and train workers in how to comply with organisational and legislative rules. This qualification extends that knowledge and understanding. It is aimed at more senior tradespeople or business managers who require an in- depth understanding of the way in which Health and Safety can become a key platform in any organisation’s safety culture, and a point of difference between just doing enough and actually embracing the spirit of the law.
