Development Quality Partner 6. Entry Requirements 7. Assessment Quality Partner 8. External Assessment Strategy 1. Background to the Curriculum: The lack of a standard curriculum for training and development of Occupational Health and Safety Practitioners in South Africa has been a problem for all sectors of the industry for many years. Not only did it result in an abnormal variance in entry qualifications being accepted in the broader industry it also created disparity in the training and education being offered by tertiary institutions and related service providers. This unbearable situation led to the Mine Qualification Authority to apply on behalf of the Safety Professions of South Africa to register an Occupational Safety and Health Curriculum with the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations. It is the view of the broad spectrum of Safety Professionals who took part and contributed towards the development of this curriculum that this document will be regarded as the true benchmark for training and development of Occupational Health and Safety Practitioners in all the different industries. 2. Alignment with the Organising Framework of Occupations (OFO) This curriculum includes the following Occupations as indicated on the OFO Practitioner: Occupational Health and Safety Practitioners: Occupational Health and Safety: Serve as a link between employees and management regarding safety and health aspects in the workplace, monitor and inspect the workplace and record and investigate incidents. They also implement and maintain Occupational Health and Safety systems in order to ensure a safe and healthy work environment. V06-18APRIL 2012 Page 2

3 3. Curriculum coverage in terms of progression The qualification caters for all Occupational Health and Safety designations included in the occupational classification of Practitioner. The skills and knowledge range from NQF 2 to NQF 7. With the bulk of the knowledge and skills falling in NQF 5. Elements of the knowledge and skills can be extracted for use in training Occupational Health and Safety Representatives. (See the learning extracted as an Employable Skills Component ). The picture, below, is a visual description of this curriculum. The qualification will serve as the basis for registration with the Occupational Health and Safety Professional bodies.

6 5. Development Quality Partner The Mine Qualifications Authority (MQA) was appointed, on behalf of the industry, as the Development Quality Partner (DQP) for this qualification. The role of the DQP is to facilitate the process of developing the qualification according to the rules set out by the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO). Participation in the process was extensive and every attempt was made to obtain involvement and inputs from all relevant industry players. (A list of participants can be obtained from the MQA). 6. Entry and Eligibility Requirements The following are minimum requirements that a learner must meet before they can access the qualification: Relevant work experience or an appropriate NQF level 3 qualification. (The technical work content is not covered in this qualification. Learners need to acquire the required technical skills, knowledge and experience through gaining work experience or qualifications in related technical occupations. Each industry will prescribe the technical requirements relevant to that industry. In order to become eligible for access to the final integrated assessment for this qualification learners must submit: a. A valid statement of results, issued by an accredited provider, that they have been assessed as competent against the knowledge and practical skills requirements as set out in this curriculum; b. A valid work experience record, signed off by, a recognised employer that they have completed the work experience, set out in the curriculum, and have demonstrated a satisfactory level of competence in executing each of the indicated work experience activities; c. Proof of successful completion of the National Foundational Learning Competence assessment. 7. Assessment Quality Partner: A structure, made up of the main professional bodies for Occupational health and Safety is being set up to execute the external Assessment Quality Partner role. Consideration is currently being given towards entering into a partnership with the MQA to facilitate the external assessment process. 8. External assessment Strategy. The final integrated external assessment will be done in the form of a written assessment conducted under exam conditions. The assessment will last plus minus four hours and will cover key elements of the theory and practical skills. It will also check the extent to which workplace applications have contributed towards the learning process. The overall assessment specification is included in SECTION 3 of this document.
