Ballarat CAE already has this blend of expertise. An experienced group of specialists in aspects of health and safety and from engineering branches would be required. The control solutions would need to be technically vetted to ensure feasibility of the solution. The document outlines the need for a databank and often ""our failure to control health and safety problems is from our inability to apply existing knowledge rather than because the knowledge does not exist."

VIOSH accepts people into the Graduate Diploma of Occupational Hazard Management who have no undergraduate degree - on the basis of extensive work experience and knowledge.ĭocument is a Draft Proposal for a Pilot Project to Develop a Databank of Successful Engineering Solutions to Health and Safety Problems. Students are taught active research and enquiry rather than textbook learning and a one-size fits all approach. They come from all over Australia and industry. VIOSH Australia students are safety managers, senior advisors and experienced OHS professionals. It was 2014 that it became Federation University. In 1990 it became known as Ballarat University College, then in 1994 as University of Ballarat. At that time the Institution was known as the Ballarat College of Advanced Education. VIOSH had its first intake of students in 1979. VIOSH has a global reputation for its innovative approach within the field of OHS management. Victorian Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (VIOSH) Australia is the Asia-Pacific centre for teaching and research in occupational health and safety (OHS) and is known as one of Australia's leaders on the field.
