Overview
Delivered by subject matter experts from Edith Cowan University (ECU), over five weeks you will fast-track your understanding to help you develop and build a safety management system for your organisation.
With an increasing emphasis on a safety management system as a component of an organisation's response to legislation, Organisation Officers and Safety Managers must ensure their approach to work health and safety is risk-based, customised to their organisation, and its implementation is verified.
This includes developing and implementing a Work Health and Safety Management System.

Led by experienced WHS faculty/facilitators, this intensive course offers a variety of learning methodologies including plenary sessions, self-paced learning materials and workplace-based tasks to consolidate your learning and help you to develop your Work Health and Safety Management System.
Who will benefit
Organisation Officers, Safety Managers and anyone in your organisation who is responsible for the Work Health and Safety function and developing the WHS System. If you do not have a Safety Manager, we suggest you send your Managing Director, Operations Manager or Project Manager.
