SAFETY LEADERSHIP
Translating safety strategy into Behaviour-Based Safety action
Course Overview
This in-depth course is designed to be completed by attending six days of training over six weeks and completing a workplace based project in between each day of training. This comprehensive approach enables frontline supervisors and managers to explore new ideas and models presented in class and to interpret and apply this information in-depth back at their workplace.
Despite the predominance of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) as a key driver of business over recent times, organisations are often still struggling to achieve the aspiration of “Zero Harm” and the full engagement of employees in the OHS effort.
This course will benefit

The Requirements to Achieve Competency
By successfully completing the face-to-face workshops and assessment requirements from units of competency from the Cert IV in FLM and Cert IV in OHS qualification (6 units). Particpants are required to complete an assessment task for each of the programmes above, showing how they are applying the competence addressed on the programmes in the workplace. Or apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Participants can achieve the nationally recognised qualification with either or combination of both approachs. RPL is a process that enables those who are interested in gaining the qualification to be granted exemption from some or all of the training programmes.
Learning Strategy
Students will take part in a highly interactive project forum, with group discussion and collaborative research for maximum impact and learning. The DiSC behavioural profiling is used in relation to strengths and challenges. This is followed up with 4 half day project forums for students to work on their projects and receive feedback from an Assessor. Projects are linked to the organisation’s strategic themes and core values, making them applied to real situations, rather than theory and textbook.
