Safety in Design Online Short Course

Let’s be honest — no-one gets excited about safety. There’s certainly very little enthusiasm for Safe Design. But… What if it wasn’t boring?

The team from Safe Design Australia (SDA) have developed a flexible and convenient online safety in design training course specifically focussed on Safety in Design (SiD) for design and safety professionals.

Designed by international safe design expert and HSW professional, John Daly, the Safe Design Online Short Course provides the latest information, advice and tools relating to safe design practices in Australia, New Zealand and around the world. And, it’s endorsed for Professional Development with the Australian Institute of Health and Safety (AIHS).
