A key focus of this unit is providing the skills and processes for motivating workgroups to adopt
responsibility for creating a safer workplace. When you understand the duty of care requirements and can communicate those effectively, the safety benefits impact every employee.
How will this benefit me?
You will learn alongside others interested in improving or implementing safety practices in their organisation. Topics covered include:
• history of current workplace safety legislation
• statistics on the cost of accidents in the workplace
• record keeping
• the Occupational Health and Safety Acts
• OHS tools, techniques and risk assessments
• evaluating controls and demonstrating commitment to safety
How will this benefit my organisation?
Promoting a safer working environment is not just a practical consideration. Ensuring legal compliance and reducing exposure to claims can deliver significant savings and productivity benefits. When you can establish and maintain an OHS system, you are contributing to organisational health in many ways.
