They apply solutions to a defined range of unpredictable problems, and analyse and evaluate information from a variety of sources. They may provide leadership and guidance to others with some limited responsibility for the output of others. This qualification would suit an OHS officer in a full-time dedicated role who works under the supervision of an OHS Coordinator or OHS Manager.

Duration

The Certificate IV in Occupational Health and Safety consists of 9 Units of Competency.

The face to face program for the Certificate IV in Occupational Health and Safety runs over a period of 9 training days with 12 months to complete the assessment tasks and projects. The 9 training days will not be delivered consecutively and will be structured / tailored around public course or organisational needs.

The program has been designed to provide flexibility to meet an individual or organisational requirement and can be delivered in block or modulised process.
