PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:

This qualification enables learners to identify, monitor, advise and report on occupational safety factors, which may have a detrimental effect on the safety of workers in the workplace. The qualification is designed for safety, health and environmental (SHE) practitioners, middle management and persons managing occupational safety.

Learners credited with this qualification are capable of:
  • Performing essential inspections, measurements and evaluations to ensure occupational safety in the workplace.
  • Communicating effectively using language skills in the modes of oral and written presentation.
  • Applying legislation applicable to the working environment.
  • Describing occupational safety concepts and principles in the workplace.
  • Operating personal computers and computer systems.
  • Collecting, analysing, organising and critically evaluating information about occupational safety conditions, using science and technology effectively and critically to measure them in the workplace.
  • Identifying and solving problems to make responsible decisions regarding workplace occupational safety hazards.
  • Ensuring a safe and healthy workplace environment by identifying occupational safety hazards and dealing with them.
  • Working effectively with others as a member of a team, group, organisation or community to attain operational competence in occupational safety.

    Rationale:

    There is a critical need in the industry for a practical qualification in occupational safety, to allow qualified learners to manage and apply safety principles. This qualification contributes to the continuum of higher education qualifications along the safety-education and training pathway.

    Learners credited with this qualification are likely to be working in the occupational safety, hygiene and environmental disciplines. This qualification is the next step in a career path in one of the areas of specialisation in Occupational Safety and Hygiene and is generic enough to allow maximum mobility within the field of application.

    The compilation of the qualification is based on the specific requirements of the Safety Practitioner and includes the execution of both the safety and managerial aspects. This qualification also ensures that the Safety Practitioner can manage safety and gain the required exposure for further education, training and development.

    Learners are required to integrate practical skills with essential knowledge, to be able to take proactive and reactive measures in order to maintain a healthy and safe environment.

    In South Africa and internationally, the social and economic impact of occupational safety is significant. This qualification aims to meet the demand for learners who are able to facilitate a safe, healthy and productive occupational environment.

    This qualification will augment the objectives of the NQF by:
  • Creating an integrated national framework for learning achievements pertaining to occupational safety.
  • Facilitating access to, and mobility and progression within the safety environment regarding education, training and the career paths of learners.
  • Enhancing the quality of education and training with specific reference to the safety environment.
  • Enhancing equal opportunities regarding education, training and employment.
  • Contributing to the full personal development of each learner and the social and economic development of the nation at large. 

  • LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
  • Communication at NQF Level 4.
  • Mathematical literacy at NQF Level 4.

    Proven existing competence in the FETC: Occupational Hygiene and Safety, NQF Level 4 and the National Certificate: Occupational Safety, NQF Level 5 will further facilitate learning towards this qualification.

    Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL):

    This qualification can be achieved wholly, or in part, through recognition of prior learning. Evidence of competency can be presented in a variety of forms, including previous international or local qualifications, reports, portfolios including work and performance records.

    Learners who have met the requirements of any unit standard that forms part of this qualification may apply for recognition of prior learning to the relevant Education and Training Quality Assurance body (ETQA) or ETQA that has a Memorandum of Understanding in place with the relevant ETQA.

    Integrated Assessment.

    Integrated assessment is carried out as a series of structured, evidence gathering processes throughout the period of learning. The learner's performance is assessed through the use of a range of methods and culminates in a final or summative assessment.

    Methods include, but are not limited to:
  • Written and oral tests.
  • Simulation.
  • Peer group presentations.
  • Written reports and work plans.

    The assessment criteria in the unit standards are performance-based, assessing applied competence rather than only knowledge, or skills. Workplace experience can be recognised when assessing this qualification. 

  • INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    In the effort to establish the international comparability and the suitability of the qualifications and its component unit standards it was again confirmed that Occupational Health and Safety training in the SADC region is almost non-existent as reflected in process reports submitted earlier for qualifications at NQF levels three and four.

    The search focus then had to shift towards all other countries that might have Occupational Health and Safety qualifications at this level. The search also identified current qualifications and new initiatives at South African tertiary institutions, as well as proposed qualifications put forward by the Institute of Safety Management. A number of international qualifications were identified as representative of a few schools of thought in tertiary education in Occupational Health and Safety and placed on a matrix with the South African initiatives, to compare content and depth as best as possible.

    This comparison highlighted the issue that terminology used worldwide in the field of occupational health and safety is not standardised. Therefore comparisons have a substantial element of subjectivity due to interpretations in this regard. Furthermore, subject content and depth had to be assessed in terms of titles, level of subject and very brief descriptions of the available subjects/aspects used for comparison. This clearly also increased the level of subjectivity of comparisons.

    During the comparison, two main aspects on which to base the comparisons, were isolated:
  • The number of qualifications in which a subject/aspect were represented, as an indication of the significance or importance of the aspect to be included in an Occupational Safety qualification at this level.
  • The number of subjects/aspects represented in a qualification as an indication of how well that qualification covers the breadth of possible aspects in the field of Occupational Safety.

    The following conclusions may be drawn from the comparison.
  • The National Diploma in Safety proposed by the SGB OHS includes more subjects/aspects out of a possible 87, of all the qualifications used for comparison. The National Diploma covers 38% of the possible aspects. The qualification that provides the next best coverage is the National Certificate in Safety as proposed by the SGB, which covers 29% of subjects/aspects and the next closest then only covers 23% of subjects/aspects.
  • Of the 12 aspects isolated as being the most significant across the board (represented in six and more of the 13 qualifications), the proposed Diploma covers all except two. These are the Fire Safety Training and Safety Management in Industry/Safety Management/Principles of accident causation and prevention. Fire safety and prevention were not included at this level of the SAQA qualifications as these were covered at the lower NQF levels, and have also been identified for inclusion at higher-level qualifications. Safety Management in Industry/Safety Management/Principles of accident causation and prevention were considered at be at too high a level for inclusion in the proposed qualifications and will be addressed at the next NQF Levels.
  • As can be expected most of the qualifications (and groupings of qualifications) from other countries, cover the significant aspects well. However, of the other qualifications used in the comparison, the Australian qualifications (Certificates III, IV and Diploma) and the BSc qualification of Central Missouri State University (CMSU) do best by covering nine of the twelve subjects/aspects.

    It is thus concluded that the proposed Diploma compares very favourably with a selection of qualifications from all over the world, and in fact, covers more of the different subjects/aspects of Occupational Safety than any other qualification in the world. The qualification focuses on aspects specifically required in Southern African conditions and thus addresses our specific needs.
