Occupational Health & Safety is one of the most consistently in-demand training fields in South Africa, driven by the OHS Act and sector regulations. If you have industry safety experience, facilitation here is reliable, meaningful work.
Core programmes you'll deliver
- SHE Representative and SHE Committee training.
- Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment (HIRA).
- First Aid (Levels 1–3) and firefighting.
- Incident investigation and legal liability.
- Working at heights, confined spaces and other high-risk tasks.
Know the legal backbone
Ground your delivery in the Occupational Health and Safety Act (Act 85 of 1993) and its regulations. Learners need to connect the training to real duties and liabilities on their own sites.
Make it practical
OHS sticks when it is hands-on: real site scenarios, actual PPE, mock inspections and incident role-plays. Abstract lectures do not change behaviour — practice does.
Why demand stays high
Safety training is recurring and legally driven, so providers need dependable facilitators and moderators year-round. A strong Famasa rating in OHS keeps you booked.
