About Safety Science, GradDip - at Murdoch University

The welfare and protection of people in the workplace from incidents such as accidents, explosions, fires, and generally health-threatening conditions is the responsibility of industry and government agencies. Their role is to avoid costs for individuals, workplaces and the entire nation. This has created a huge demand for professionals with qualifications in Safety Science, as employers are hiring staff to manage and minimise such risks. Experts in this expanding field range from social scientists to engineers.

In this course, you'll cover the disciplines of science, safety, health and environment and will gain a valuable insight into engineering, systems analysis, management, human relations and communications. This will equip you with the cutting-edge knowledge pertinent to understanding the behavioural-based safety and risk management policies.

You'll also develop the essential employment requirements that businesses demand of OSH professionals, such as knowledge of process safety and engineering concepts to improve safety culture, behavioural-based safety and change management principles.
