Healthy And Safety Course
Health and Safety Training That Supports Real Workplace Compliance
A structured Healthy And Safety Course from Global SHEQ is designed to equip South African businesses with practical skills that can be applied immediately on site. Our blended and online learning options give your team flexibility, while still focusing on real risks, local legislation, and the day-to-day challenges faced in industries such as construction, manufacturing, logistics, and services. Every programme is developed to help you build a safer workplace and a more reliable compliance record.
Who Should Enrol
These programmes are suited to health and safety representatives, supervisors, line managers, HR practitioners, and business owners who carry responsibility for employee welfare and legal compliance. They also support contractors and service providers who need to align with client site rules and demonstrate formal training. Individuals who want to grow a career in occupational health and safety will find the structured content useful for building a solid foundation.
How Our Courses Support Your Compliance Goals
Our training is aligned with South African legislation and industry norms, helping your team understand what is expected before an inspection or client audit. We focus on realistic workplace scenarios, not generic theory, so learners know how to respond to hazards, incidents, and unsafe behaviours. When combined with your existing policies or with our broader support services from Global SHEQ, training becomes part of a stronger safety culture rather than a once-off event.
Key Benefits for Your Business

Training Areas Covered
Global SHEQ offers a range of programmes that meet both entry-level and advanced training needs for South African organisations. Many clients combine a Healthy And Safety Course with on-site mentoring, inspections, or system development to build a complete approach to risk management.
- Occupational health and safety fundamentals Core concepts, roles, responsibilities, and safe work practices for all sectors.
- Hazard identification and risk assessment Step-by-step methods for spotting dangers, rating risks, and recommending controls.

Integrated Support Beyond Training
Many South African businesses need more than a once-off course to maintain consistent safety performance. Our consultants can assist with policies, procedures, and documentation that align training outcomes with your operational reality. When you combine a Healthy And Safety Course with structured programmes listed in our broader catalogue of SHEQ courses, your organisation can build a more sustainable approach to compliance and risk control.
Local Insight for South African Workplaces
Because we work across multiple industries in South Africa, we understand the practical obstacles that companies face, from language diversity on site to subcontractor management and tight project timeframes. Training reflects local examples and common non-conformances noticed during client visits and audits. This helps learners recognise similar issues in their own workplaces and address them before they escalate.
Get Started with the Right Course
Whether you are updating mandatory training, onboarding new staff, or formalising the skills of experienced workers, our team can recommend the most appropriate Healthy And Safety Course for your risk profile and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ISO Management System and why does my business need one?
An ISO Management System provides a structured framework to help organisations consistently meet legal, regulatory, and customer requirements while improving efficiency and reducing risk. Implementing ISO standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, or ISO 45001 demonstrates commitment to quality, safety, and environmental responsibility. It also improves internal processes, supports certification readiness, enhances credibility with clients, and helps businesses compete more effectively in regulated industries.
What role does a Construction Health & Safety Agent play on a project?
A Construction Health & Safety Agent is responsible for managing and monitoring health and safety compliance throughout the lifecycle of a construction project. This includes reviewing safety plans, conducting site inspections, identifying hazards, advising contractors, and ensuring compliance with legal requirements. Their role helps reduce incidents, protect workers, ensure regulatory compliance, and provide peace of mind to clients, principal contractors, and project stakeholders.
What is a Construction Health & Safety File and when is it required?
A Construction Health & Safety File is a legally required document that outlines how health and safety risks are managed on a construction site. It includes policies, risk assessments, method statements, legal appointments, and records of training and inspections. These files must be in place before work begins and maintained throughout the project. Properly developed files ensure compliance, support audits, and reduce the risk of delays, fines, or site shutdowns.
Why is Occupational Health and Safety training important for employees?
Occupational Health and Safety training equips employees and supervisors with the knowledge to identify hazards, follow safe work procedures, and understand their legal responsibilities. Proper training reduces workplace incidents, improves safety culture, and helps organisations comply with legislation. It also empowers staff to act confidently in emergencies, promotes accountability, and demonstrates an employer’s commitment to protecting the wellbeing of their workforce.
How can environmental management consulting benefit my organisation?
Environmental management consulting helps organisations understand and meet environmental legal requirements while reducing their environmental footprint. This includes identifying environmental risks, implementing controls, managing waste and emissions, and improving sustainability practices. Effective environmental management not only ensures compliance but also enhances corporate reputation, supports ISO 14001 certification, reduces long-term costs, and aligns businesses with responsible and sustainable operational practices.
What is occupational hygiene and when should it be conducted?
Occupational hygiene focuses on identifying, evaluating, and controlling workplace exposures that can harm employee health, such as noise, dust, chemicals, and biological agents. It should be conducted when employees are exposed to potential hazards or when required by legislation. Occupational hygiene assessments help prevent long-term health issues, support compliance with regulations, guide control measures, and demonstrate an organisation’s commitment to employee health and safety.
What is the purpose of an Occupational Health and Safety audit?
An Occupational Health and Safety audit evaluates how well an organisation complies with legal requirements, internal policies, and industry standards. It identifies gaps, non-conformances, and areas for improvement, providing clear recommendations for corrective action. Regular OHS audits help reduce risk, prevent incidents, improve safety systems, and demonstrate due diligence to regulators, clients, and stakeholders while supporting continuous improvement.
