Has any one out there recently done (or currently doing) Cert IV in WHS?

Hi David
I've looked at that course a few times over the years. There is certainly a demand for qualified WHS people in all industries and you would have no trouble getting work. It would be of no benefit to me in my current job (in NSW, but I'm not sure of the system in SA!) Looking at the subject list, you would need to be really passionate about WHS to get through it all, it could be a bit dry.
Good luck with it!

I'm down to my last unit (there are 10 in total). I really enjoyed the course, but found there is a lot of overlap between WHS units. I was specifically wondering if anyone had do the unit I'm on now as it is driving me nuts..... BSBSUS301A - Implement and Monitor Sustainable Work Practices. Definitely the least enjoyable of all the units

Hi
I finished my course last semester. This unit is about environmental impact. e.g to reduce paper consumption:
minimise printing by using electronic versions for policies, procedures note taking, check befor print, double sided printing, smaller font, reusing printed paper for drafts,use other side, eliminate unnecessary formsStart recycling program in your workplace, distribute single hard copy etc.. minimising paper usage, we use less electricity, less green gas emission....
