BSB41419 Certificate IV in Work Health & Safety.
The BSB41419 Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety program is for those working as supervisors, WHS personnel, or workers in any WHS-related role who manage risks, need to apply relevant WHS laws, and contribute to WHS within the workplace.
Regardless of the industry, leaders have a legal obligation to keep people safe and therefore WHS qualified people are needed in almost every business.

What our participants say about our programs
“Where would I start? Beginning with the legislation to reticular activity system, attitude-behaviour-consequences, ILEAD, SMART are some of the tools, guides and other techniques I have learnt doing the course that I will utilise in my workplace.
The whole program was fantastic, thank you Kevin and the team.”
“Absolutely awesome way of learning.
Don’t knock it till you try it.”
“Really good. Encourages people to talk in turn rather than on top of each other.”
“Great innovative experience.”
“If you’re considering the program – do it, you will learn stuff you didn’t think about learning.
“Kevin thank you for giving me an insight into a whole new industry and for sharing your unlimited knowledge and resources with us as a group. I have learnt a great deal about work health and safety and endeavour to improve on my safety knowledge and lead by example in my workplace and home.”
“If you haven’t done it, this is the course to do. The quality of information learnt and the group discussions alone are priceless. My confidence has lifted through the knowledge I have gained from doing this course with Kevin. It’ll be the best thing you’ve done in a long while.”
“I think learning via ZOOM was very effective.
I felt I was able to interact with the group as well as I would have in person.”

Our company should do more safety courses online like this one.”
