Overview

An Engineering Education Australia Virtual Workshop:

As an engineer, you have legal duties under Work Health and Safety laws (and the equivalent OHS legislation in Victoria) to make sure the products and assets you design are safe.  

To fulfil these duties, you need to consider all the potential hazards that might emerge at every stage of your design’s lifecycle. That includes during construction, installation, testing, commissioning, operation, maintenance, decommissioning, demolition, and disposal.  

This course will support you in meeting the legal duties, by improving your awareness of the tools, practices, and techniques for identifying and managing hazards.  

You will also develop your practical skills, by participating in a case study example where you plan the Safety in Design activities for a major project.  

By the end of the course, you will have a deeper understanding of how to meet your legal obligations by integrating Safety in Design into your engineering and design processes.

Is this course for you?
