PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
This qualification enables learners to identify and evaluate occupational safety, hygiene and environmental factors, in occupational environments, which may have a detrimental effect on the health and safety of learners in such environments. Learners credited with this qualification are able to perform essential measurements and functions that promote a culture of health and safety in occupational environments. The qualification is designed to be flexible and accessible.

Learners credited with this qualification are capable of:
  • Communicating effectively using visual, mathematic and language skills in the modes of oral and written presentation
  • Solving mathematics problems related to finances, patterns, statistics, shape and motion using numbers and number systems
  • Describing concepts and principles in science and the natural environment
  • Operating personal computers and computer systems
  • Collecting, analysing, organising and critically evaluating information about occupational hygiene, safety and environmental conditions and elements using science and technology effectively and critically to measure them
  • Identifying and solving problems to make responsible decisions regarding workplace hazards and risks
  • Ensuring safe, healthy workplace environments and conduct
  • Working effectively with others as a member of a team, group, organisation or community to attain generic occupational, as well as specialised occupational safety or hygiene or environment operational competence


    Rationale:

    Learners credited with this qualification are likely to be working in the occupational safety, hygiene and environmental disciplines. For attainment of the Unit Standards, learners are required to integrate practical skills with essential knowledge, and to obtain the qualification they are required to integrate the competencies credited in the Unit Standards that the qualification is based on.

    In South Africa and internationally, the social and economic impact of occupational safety, hygiene, health, and environment is great. Direct costs that result from poor workplace safety, hygiene, health, and environments include human and economic costs. Indirect costs are also incurred and can include poor morale, poor productivity, downtime, etc. Improved workplace safety, hygiene, health, and environments could influence the South African economy in direct costs alone to the value of millions of Rands each year. This qualification aims to meet the demand for learners that are able to facilitate a safe, healthy and productive occupational environment.

    There is a critical need in the industry to recognise learner competence regarding essential operations associated with a healthy, safe and productive working environment. This qualification is the entry level to a career path in one of the areas of specialisation in Occupational Safety, Hygiene and Environment (SHE). It is generic enough to allow maximum mobility within the field of application. Skills, knowledge, values and attitudes (competencies) reflected in the qualification are building blocks towards a level 4 qualification.

    INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    This qualification and component Unit Standards for this qualification have been compared with other countries. The qualification does not exist at the equivalent level on frameworks in New Zealand, United Kingdom, and Australia. However, the design of the qualification addresses equivalent areas of competence.

    On the Australian framework, occupational health, safety and environment qualifications fall within the Vocational Education and Training sector, which recognises skills and knowledge that meet nationally endorsed industry/enterprise competency standards as agreed for those qualifications by the relevant industry, enterprise, community or professional group. The available qualifications also include literacy and numeracy, communication, working in teams (critical cross field outcome on the South African NQF), workplace technology, and industry specific competencies. Various programmes are available, including a Certificate III in Occupational Health and Safety, Certificate IV in Auditing Occupational Health and Safety Systems, Certificate IV in Occupational Health and Safety, and a Diploma of Occupational Health and Safety. Certificate III is year 12, or equivalent to the South African NQF Level 4.

    In the United Kingdom, no equivalent for the South African NQF Level 2 qualification exists. A Foundation certificate in Health and safety in a workplace is available, within the Hospitality sector. In addition, National Vocational Qualifications exist for Security, Safety and Loss Prevention at Level 2, Occupational Health and Safety at Level 3 (Grade 12 or NQF Level 4 equivalent in South Africa), Occupational Health and Safety Practice at Levels 4 and 5 and Health and Safety Regulation at Level 5. Other than these, health, safety and environmental issues are integrated within most other relevant qualifications, such as general science (equivalent to NQF Level 1 in South Africa), design, and engineering. In Scotland, two Vocational qualifications are provided, namely, Occupational Health and Safety Practice at Level 3, and Occupational Health and Safety Practice at Level 4.

    The New Zealand NQF places occupational health and safety within the fields of Health, Manufacturing (Dairy Workplace Health and Safety) and Planning and Construction (Construction Health and Safety and Injury Prevention). The South African equivalent is in the field of Health, specifically Occupational Health and Safety. The South African NQF Level 4 is the equivalent of the New Zealand NQF Level 3. Two qualifications are registered in the field of Health, on the New Zealand NQF, namely, a National Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety (Co-ordination) (Level 4), and a National Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety (Workplace Safety) (Level 3).

    Unit standards on the New Zealand NQF are all at a higher level than this qualification, and include the following:
  • Protect health and safety in a workplace (Level 1, Credits 1)
  • Assist in evaluating occupational health and safety standards and practice (Level 4, Credits 15)
  • Assist in hazard identification and control for occupational health and safety practice (Level 4, Credits 10)
  • Demonstrate knowledge of health and safety management requirements for contractors working on site (Level 4, Credits 8)
  • Explain the establishment and operation of a workplace health and safety committee (Level 4, Credits 5)
  • Explain the requirements of the health and safety in employment act (HSE) 1992 (Level 4, Credits 2)
  • Maintain standards of practice in an occupational health and safety practice (Level 5, Credits 5)
  • Develop and implement workplace occupational health and safety policy and standards (Level 5, Credits 10)
  • Develop systems for occupational health and safety management practice (Level 6, Credits 20)
  • Evaluate occupational health and safety standards and practice (Level 6, Credits 30)
  • Facilitate hazard management in an occupational health and safety practice (Level 6, Credits 30)
  • Plan and evaluate programmes to promote occupational health and safety practice (Level 6, Credits 20)
  • Implement workplace health and safety management requirements (Level 4, Credits 25)
  • Manage workplace management health and safety (Level 5, Credits 10) 
    		•

    ARTICULATION OPTIONS 
    This qualification can provide access to learners to progress to higher-level qualifications in the discipline of Occupational Safety, Hygiene and Environment, and in various industrial sectors and related sub-fields. Most qualifications on the NQF require competence regarding this discipline, and thus provide an access point to, for example qualifications in the Physical Planning and Construction field, the Manufacturing, Engineering and Technology field, the Business, Commerce and Management Field, etc.

    The qualification, through the fundamental component for communication and mathematic literacy, articulates horizontally with all NQF registered qualifications at NQF Level 2, and vertically up and down with NQF Levels 1 and 3. In addition, Fundamental Unit Standards relating to Natural Sciences and Computer Literacy form part of many other NQF qualifications. 

    MODERATION OPTIONS 
    Moderation of assessment and accreditation of providers shall be at the discretion of a relevant ETQA as long as it complies with the SAQA requirements. The ETQA is responsible for moderation of learner achievements of learners who meet the requirements of this qualification. Particular moderation and accreditation requirements are:
  • Any institution offering learning that will enable the achievement of this qualification must be accredited as a provider with the relevant ETQA. Providers offering learning towards achievement of any of the Unit Standards that make up this qualification must also be accredited through the relevant ETQA accredited by SAQA.
  • The ETQA will oversee assessment and moderation of assessment according to their policies and guidelines for assessment and moderation, or in terms of agreements reached around assessment and moderation between the relevant ETQA and other ETQAs and in terms of the moderation guideline detailed here.
  • Moderation must include both internal and external moderation of assessments for the qualification, unless the relevant ETQA policies specify otherwise. Moderation should also encompass achievement of the competence described in Unit Standards as well as the integrated competence described in the qualification.
  • Internal moderation of assessment must take place at the point of assessment with external moderation provided by a relevant ETQA according to the moderation guidelines and the agreed ETQA procedures.
  • Anyone wishing to be assessed against this qualification may apply to be assessed by any assessment agency, assessor or provider institution that is accredited by the relevant ETQA. 
    		•

    CRITERIA FOR THE REGISTRATION OF ASSESSORS 
    Assessment of learner achievements takes place at providers accredited by the relevant ETQA (RSA, 1998b) for the provision of programmes that result in the outcomes specified for the National Certificate in Occupational Safety, Hygiene and Environment (NQF Level 2). Anyone assessing a learner or moderating the assessment of a learner against this qualification must be registered as an assessor with the ETQA. Assessors registered with the relevant ETQA must carry out the assessment of learners for the qualification and any of the Unit Standards that make up this qualification.

    To register as an assessor, the following are required:
  • Detailed documentary proof of relevant qualification/s, practical training completed, and experience gained (a Portfolio of Evidence)
  • NQF recognised assessor credits


    Assessors should keep the following general principles in mind when designing and conducting assessments:
  • Focus the initial assessment activities on gathering evidence in terms of the main outcomes expressed in the titles of the Unit Standards to ensure assessment is integrated rather than fragmented. Remember that the learner needs to be declared competent in terms of the qualification purpose and exit level outcomes.
  • Where assessment across Unit Standard titles or at Unit Standard title level is unmanageable, then focus assessment around each specific outcome, or groups of specific outcomes. Take special note of the need for integrated assessment.
  • Make sure evidence is gathered across the entire range, wherever it applies.


    In particular, assessors should assess that the learner demonstrates an ability to consider a range of options by:
  • Measuring the quality of the observed practical performance as well as the theory and underpinning knowledge.
  • Using methods that are varied to allow the learner to display thinking and decision making in the demonstration of practical performance.
  • Maintaining a balance between practical performance and theoretical assessment methods to ensure each is measured in accordance with the level of the qualification.
  • Taking into account that the relationship between practical and theoretical components is not fixed, but varies according to the type and level of qualification.


    All assessments should be conducted in line with the following well-documented principles:
  • Appropriate: The method of assessment is suited to the performance being assessed.
  • Fair: The method of assessment does not present any barriers to achievements, which are not related to the evidence.
  • Manage: The methods used make for easily arranged cost-effective assessments that do not unduly interfere with learning.
  • Integrate into work or learning: Evidence collection is integrated into the work or learning process where this is appropriate and feasible.
  • Valid: The assessment focuses on the requirements laid down in the standards; i.e. the assessment is fit for purpose.
  • Direct: The activities in the assessment mirror the conditions of actual performance as close as possible.
  • Authentic: The assessor is satisfied that the work being assessed is attributable to the learner being assessed.
  • Sufficient: The evidence collected establishes that all criteria have been met and that performance to the required Standard can be repeated consistently.
  • Systematic: Planning and recording is sufficiently rigorous to ensure that assessment is fair.
  • Open: Learners can contribute to the planning and accumulation of evidence. Learners for assessment understand the assessment process and the criteria that apply.
  • Consistent: The same assessor would make the same judgement again in similar circumstances. The judgement made is similar than the judgement that would be made by other assessors.
