Frequently asked questions
How much does the advanced OHS Act course cost?
Pricing depends on group size and delivery mode, so we quote per booking. The course runs for one day and builds on basic OHS Act knowledge, covering compliance requirements, control measures, recordkeeping and employer training duties. Training is online, on site or at our Midrand and Durban centres. Email info@rehtraining.co.za for a quote.
What is the difference between this and the basic OHS Act course?
The basic course introduces the Act and its main duties. The advanced course goes deeper: legal compliance requirements, identifying deviations from safety plans, monitoring control measures, recordkeeping, and the employer's obligations around training and communication. It is post-basic knowledge for people who manage compliance, not an introduction. Daily classes are available.
Who should attend?
The course suits safety officers, managers, compliance staff and anyone responsible for making sure an organisation meets its legal obligations under the OHS Act. It is also a good next step for people who completed our basic OHS Act course and now handle compliance in their jobs. No formal qualification is required to attend.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes, each learner receives a certificate on completion, issued in line with SAQA-aligned unit standards where applicable. The course is accredited legislative compliance training, so the certificate is appropriate for your training records and audits. It also counts as documented evidence of legislative training for your organisation. For dates and quotes, email info@rehtraining.co.za.
