Industry Occupational Health and Safety requirements are evolving daily, in the 21st century the requirements and standards will only increase and become more stringent as new technology and working practices change our daily workplace environment.
ABIOSH have held discussions with many industries to understand what their practices and concerns are and developed bespoke courses to ensure that we can reflect the required levels of training required by organisations to work safely – this is the type of training we deliver – a combination of Health and Safety solutions for not only the safety of the industry but also the individuals.
The Awarding Body of International Safety and Health – ABIOSH – has been developed to provide qualifications that relate to modern industry standards that are recognised by organisations who want to achieve very high standards. All the awards we provide are based on industrial requirements that we have researched through many companies. Today many of the Health and Safety qualifications require updated and constantly improved. The awards that ABIOSH provide have been rigorously subjected to assessment, amendments and critique from various Health and Safety professionals.
The qualifications we offer are assessed through multi choice questions and examinations and are assessed along with general areas of Health and Safety. Student feedback is more open and diligent – you will not just receive a letter stating pass/fail. Students will be provided with support and feedback throughout the course, so students are enabled to review, update and maintained on the right path.
Employment is driven by employers.
Advances in technology require an ever-evolving series of bespoke OSHA qualifications, which reflect today’s requirements and even consider tomorrow’s advances.
So, what do employers want?
They need to be safe in the knowledge that their investment in people and equipment are safe and ultimately taking their business in the right direction. Therefore, we have spoken to companies in various sectors and travelled across the world to meet employers in Australia and the USA. The solution is what individuals and companies require in terms of Health & Safety training – in today’s market “time is money” and therefore standards and processes of Occupational Health & Safety need to be continuously monitored to ensure that the results is measurable, attainable and the solution.
Our mission is for people to go home safely to their families, every day!
