About this programme
Safety Officer is ABC’s Advanced SHE combination programme. It is not a separate learner guide and not one Moodle course you start on its own. You complete six existing courses — Legal Liability, Health and Safety Representative, Risk Assessment, Incident Investigator, Work permit (Lock Out Tag Out & Permit to Work), and Fire Marshall (Emergency Evacuation Marshall) — with online knowledge in Moodle plus practicals as each course requires. Enrol in those six component courses. Book the full programme with ABC if you want the six scheduled and assessed as a package. There is no invented SAQA number for Safety Officer as a standalone qualification.
