Education & Training

Cengage Education

In the drive to reduce the human and business cost of workplace accidents, the right training is vital.

Delivered on behalf of the National Safety Council of Australia (NSCA) by distance education leader and RTO Cengage Education, the nationally recognised Diploma of Occupational Health & Safety provides the specialised knowledge required to design, coordinate and manage effective OHS plans.

Those working in affiliated fields such as human resources, who need to update or enhance their knowledge of OHS practices, could also consider a Statement of Attainment in Occupational Health & Safety.

Deakin’s off-campus postgraduate courses in Occupational Hygiene comprise an articulated program of units at the graduate certificate and graduate diploma levels.

These courses have been developed in consultation with the Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists (AIOH) and are designed to enable students to develop specialist skills in all aspects of occupational hygiene, including the legislative and regulatory framework, the science and the professional practice.

Continuing input from employers ensures that the courses are relevant and up-to-date with workplace requirements. Industry-based occupational hygiene projects provide hands-on experience to develop graduates who are job ready. The courses include units on chemical hazards, toxicology and biohazards, physical hazards, human factors, risk assessment and control.
