Hobart’s construction, civil infrastructure, healthcare, aged care, government, education, hospitality, tourism and heritage building restoration sectors continue to create 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 Tasmania.
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.
Workers interested in strengthening their workplace safety knowledge may also benefit from AlertForce’s Hobart 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.
Typically 12 to 18 months, depending on your pace.

Certificate of Completion
Nationally recognised Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety (BSB41419)
Develop the formal qualifications commonly required for WHS Coordinator, Safety Officer and WHS Advisor positions across Hobart and Tasmania.
Formalise your workplace safety knowledge and strengthen your understanding of WHS consultation and worker participation processes.
Strengthen WHS leadership capabilities across construction, civil infrastructure, healthcare, aged care, education, government and other high-risk industries.
Build advanced workplace safety knowledge and develop qualifications that support progression into senior WHS leadership and management positions.
Many WHS roles across Tasmania require a formal qualification at Certificate IV level or above. The BSB41419 Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety is commonly requested for WHS Coordinator, Safety Officer and WHS Advisor positions, while the BSB51319 Diploma of Work Health and Safety is often preferred for senior WHS management and leadership roles.
Both qualifications align with the Work Health and Safety Act 2012 (TAS) and provide practical workplace safety skills relevant to Hobart’s construction, civil infrastructure, healthcare, aged care, government, education, tourism, agriculture and aquaculture sectors.
Tasmania’s ongoing infrastructure investment, including projects associated with the Hobart City Deal, growing healthcare and aged care workforce requirements, and increasing demand for workplace safety expertise across regional industries continue to create opportunities for qualified WHS professionals. Heritage building restoration projects also represent a specialised WHS environment requiring strong risk management and safety leadership capabilities. The qualifications can support career progression into WHS Coordinator, Safety Officer and Safety Manager positions throughout Hobart and regional Tasmania.
AlertForce delivers flexible self-paced online study supported by experienced WHS trainers and assessors. Students can complete training from Hobart, regional Tasmania or remote locations while balancing work and personal commitments.
