Brisbane’s construction, civil infrastructure, mining support, industrial facilities, healthcare and government sectors continue to create strong demand for qualified WHS professionals. The BSB41419 Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety and BSB51319 Diploma of Work Health and Safety provide nationally recognised pathways into WHS coordinator, safety officer, advisor and management roles throughout Queensland.
Delivered by AlertForce through a fully online, self-paced study model, both qualifications are designed for workers seeking to enter the WHS profession, formalise existing workplace experience or progress into senior safety leadership positions. The qualifications develop practical skills in workplace compliance, risk management, consultation, incident investigation and WHS management systems that can be applied across a broad range of industries.
The BSB41419 Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety is an Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Level 4 qualification comprising 10 units of competency (5 core and 5 elective units). The BSB51319 Diploma of Work Health and Safety is an AQF Level 5 qualification comprising 10 units of competency (5 core and 5 elective units) and includes 5 prerequisite core units from the Certificate IV qualification.
Students interested in strengthening their workplace safety knowledge may also benefit from AlertForce’s Brisbane HSR training course or the national BSB41419 Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety course.
The BSB41419 Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety develops practical skills in hazard identification, risk assessment, WHS consultation and participation processes, incident investigation, workplace compliance and the implementation of WHS management systems (WHSMS). It is commonly undertaken by workers seeking entry-level and intermediate WHS positions.
The BSB51319 Diploma of Work Health and Safety builds on these foundations by developing higher-level skills in WHS leadership, organisational risk management, safety system development, compliance management and strategic WHS planning. The Diploma is designed for experienced practitioners seeking to progress into senior WHS advisory, management and leadership roles.
