As an OHS and Training Coordinator in industry Justine Walde says strong workplace safety is about ensuring employees feel confident when they arrive at work and that they arrive home without injury.
“From the Board and management team to the shop floor, safety is for everyone,” she says.
Justine completed the six-month, part-time BSB41419 Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety course at Holmesglen, a Free TAFE course for eligible students.
For employers, the course is suitable for workers who contribute to work health and safety (WHS), legislative frameworks and compliance.
While for workers, like Justine, the course can give students strong working knowledge of current work health and safety management systems and risk management.
“The industry is growing; the legislation is requiring more from businesses.
“Businesses must be across health and safety risks. They cannot ignore them. They must be actively eliminating or reducing risks.”
