Level 7 - International Diploma
Occupational Health and Safety Management

Program Description

The Level 7 International Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety Management is a postgraduate-level qualification for experienced professionals advancing into senior health and safety leadership roles. Equivalent to master's-level study, it develops the advanced strategic and analytical skills needed to design, implement, and evaluate occupational health and safety (OHS) management systems across diverse organisational and international contexts.

The programme covers risk assessment and control, regulatory compliance, safety culture, incident investigation, and the integration of OHS into corporate governance. Suited to practitioners, managers, and consultants in regulated and high-risk industries, it prepares graduates for senior advisory and management positions and supports progression to further postgraduate study or professional membership with recognised OHS bodies.
