AlertForce provides quality training for earning your Cert IV or diploma in work health and safety (WHS). Both certifications prepare you to take on greater safety responsibilities in the workplace.

 

What Is a Cert IV or Diploma of WHS Melbourne?

 

Certificate IV in WHS and a Diploma of WHS are two separate qualifications intended for workers with WHS responsibilities. A Cert IV in WHS covers the skills and knowledge needed to implement and maintain WHS policies. A diploma in WHS offers additional training for those in leadership roles.

 

Both qualifications prepare industry professionals for maintaining a safer work environment. According to WorkSafe Victoria statistics, almost 26,000 workers were injured in Victoria in 2016. Cert IV in WHS training Melbourne can help contribute to a reduction in these injuries.

 

Why Complete Cert IV WHS (still know as OHS Training) in Melbourne?

 

Cert IV courses are the minimum requirement for a variety of positions with WHS responsibilities. This may include positions devoted to WHS compliance, such as WHS officers and WHS coordinators.

 

However, many other jobs require or recommend Cert IV in WHS safety training:

 

  • Safety trainers
  • Safety assessors
  • Safety auditors
  • Safety consultants
  • Union representatives
  • Supervisors and managers

 

Health and safety representatives and anyone wanting to further their professional development may also complete Cert IV certificate courses. You may gain some of the same skills through on-the-job training. However, completing a nationally recognised unit of competency provides advanced training and equips you with additional skills and knowledge to support your career opportunities.

 

Learning Outcomes for Cert IV WHS Training Melbourne

 

Cert IV training teaches you how to ensure your workplace complies with all applicable WHS regulations and recommended codes of practice. Cert IV in WHS (BSBWHS41419) is a nationally recognised certificate with specific certification requirements. The minimum requirement involves completing five core courses and five electives.

 

The five core accredited courses that you must complete include:

 

  • Assist with WHS Workplace Compliance (BSBWHS412)
  • Contribute to the Implementation and Maintenance of WHS Processes (BSBWHS413)
  • Contribute to WHS Risk Management Procedures (BSBWHS414)
  • Contribute to Implementing WHS Management Systems (BSBWHS415)
  • Contribute to Workplace Incident Response (BSBWHS416)

 

The Cert IV certificate course training package covers the WHS legislative framework. You learn how to comply with WHS laws and implement effective WHS processes for reducing the risk of hazards.

 

The five electives help contribute to your ability to comply with WHS legislation. Participants learn how to write complex documents, make presentations, and analyse and present research information. Additional electives cover skills and knowledge for assisting with WHS compliance of contractors and demonstrating leadership in the workplace.

 

If you plan on earning the diploma in WHS, you must first complete the five core units for Cert IV in WHS, followed by five additional core units and five electives.

Amazing Team
Very friendly , supportive and professional team.
Awesome and easy to understand coarse.
As a resident of Malaysia, I decided to enroll in this course to upskill and enhance my professional capabilities. The training center has exceeded my expectations, offering a high-quality learning environment that is both good and convenient. One of its major advantages is its easy-to-find location, which is particularly beneficial for international students like myself. The center's proximity to Arncliffe station is a significant plus, as the close access to train transportation makes commuting a breeze. This convenient setup allows me to focus on my studies without worrying about logistical challenges.
