Level 3 Certificate in Practical Occupational Safety and Health Using AI (CPOSH-AI)

Smarter Safety. Powered by Practical Skills & Artificial Intelligence.

Modern Safety Skills for a Digital Workplace

Course Overview

The Level 3 Certificate in Practical Occupational Safety and Health Using AI (CPOSH-AI) is a forward-looking qualification designed to develop competent safety professionals capable of managing workplace health and safety using both traditional OSH principles and artificial intelligence–enabled tools.

This course responds to the growing demand for safety practitioners who can apply data-driven, technology-supported solutions to prevent accidents, reduce occupational risks, and improve overall safety performance across diverse industries.

The qualification emphasizes practical application, enabling learners to understand real-world workplace hazards, implement effective control measures, and enhance safety management systems while leveraging AI for smarter risk identification, monitoring, and decision-making.

CPOSH-AI uniquely combines core occupational safety and health competencies with an introduction to AI applications in safety management. Learners are introduced to how artificial intelligence can support hazard identification, risk assessment, incident trend analysis, safety inspections, and compliance reporting.

Rather than focusing on programming or technical AI development, the course concentrates on the practical use of AI tools relevant to safety professionals, allowing learners to adopt modern technologies without requiring an IT background.
