Become an asset to your workplace

Equip yourself with the skills to implement and oversee workplace health and safety measures in various organisational settings.

Today’s organisations and businesses must recognise the importance of occupational health and safety. Workplace health and safety experts play a vital role in ensuring workplaces are safe for everyone and that organisations are meeting their legal obligations.

Melbourne Polytechnic’s range of OH&S courses (sometimes called WHS courses) will provide you with a thorough introduction to occupational health and safety legislation for a range of organisational settings. You’ll become confident in the planning, delivery, and assessment of OHS policy, staff training, and incident and hazard management.

With flexible delivery options, including evening workshops and online learning, these courses are ideal for those already in the workforce seeking to gain skills.
