Perth’s mining, resources, construction, oil and gas, utilities and FIFO 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, WHS advisor and safety management roles across Western Australia.
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 more senior safety leadership positions. Whether you’re working in mining, construction, utilities, logistics or heavy industry, these qualifications provide practical workplace safety knowledge aligned with contemporary WHS requirements.
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 Perth HSR training course or the national BSB41419 Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety course.
