⚠️ Is your OHS training legally compliant? A certificate alone may not be enough!
When it comes to workplace health and safety, it’s not just about attending a course or receiving a certificate. The training must meet the applicable legal and accreditation requirements.
Here are 4 things to check before accepting OHS training:
✅ 1. Approved Training Provider
Verify that the provider is accredited or approved by the relevant SETA, professional body or authority for the specific training offered, where required.
✅ 2. Recognised Training Standard
Check that the course aligns with the applicable SAQA-registered unit standard, occupational qualification or other recognised training requirement, as relevant.
✅ 3. Competency Assessment
Employees must be assessed where required to demonstrate that they can perform the task safely and competently. Attendance alone does not necessarily prove competence.
✅ 4. Verifiable Certificates
Training records should clearly identify the learner, ID number, course completed, relevant unit standard or reference, provider accreditation details, issue date and expiry date, where applicable.
Something doesn’t feel right about the OHS training your team is receiving?
Don’t ignore that feeling. The right training should give you confidence that your people are prepared to work safely and that your business is meeting its compliance requirements.
