Course Description

The Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) has been developed with industry to meet needs in relation to occupational health and safety in the workplace. The program is aligned with many of the competencies required by the various professional societies associated with occupational health and safety.
The program is fully articulated so that students may progress from the entry-level Graduate Certificate through to the Masters degree, provided a credit average is maintained throughout the Graduate Certificate.
The course allows students to develop knowledge in occupational and environmental health and safety, and in OH&S management. Students gain the skills to identify workplace hazards, to evaluate risks, analyse data, implement controls and monitor OH&S performance.
This degree also allows students to develop research skills related to professional practice in OH&S.
Subjects are taught in intensive delivery mode over 5-day periods, followed by assignments and a final examination. For information regarding the availability of subjects, please contact the Program Co-ordinator.
