Occupational Health and Safety Management for Systems, Audits, and Compliance

OHS management focuses on preventing harm by applying structured safety systems that identify hazards, control risk, and build consistent safety behaviour. In many industries, safety compliance is tightly regulated and audit-driven, which means policies, procedures, training, and reporting must be clear, current, and consistently applied.

This programme covers hazard identification, safety policy development, compliance with South African legislation, and alignment to relevant international frameworks. Students develop capability in advanced risk assessment approaches, safety auditing and reporting, incident readiness, hazardous substance control, ergonomics, and operational supervision practices that support implementation on the ground. Applied exercises and case studies reinforce real-world decision-making, helping students lead safety initiatives, manage audits, and strengthen a practical workplace safety culture.

This course is delivered by Accelerate Management School. On successful completion, the certificate is issued by the delivering partner college.
