The Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety (WHS) is a new course that supersedes the old Certificate IV in Occupational Health and Safety and provides a thorough familiarisation with the new Model Work Health and Safety Act 2011. This much sought after qualification is for both private and public sectors, as most employers require some level of formal studies in the area. The Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety offers the formal qualification along with skills and knowledge of WHS legislation and Management Systems.
