Diploma of Work Health and Safety
Nationally Recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET)Work health and safety (WHS) legislation in Australia aims to prevent injury and disease to persons in the workplace. State, Territory or Commonwealth legislation applies.
Importantly, several Australian jurisdictions have ‘harmonised’ their legislation from 2012. Harmonised legislation means that each jurisdiction enacts its own legislation, but the legislation is as much alike as possible in its provisions.
This qualification is designed for individuals those wishing to enhance their expertise in coordinating and maintaining the work health and safety program used within their workplace and suited to practitioners that apply their skills and knowledge in a wide variety of WHS contexts.
