This course provides you with a foundation of the key elements of mathematics, physics, chemistry, anatomy and physiology and the ways they underpin the practice of workplace/occupational health and safety and occupational hygiene. In this course you will begin to explore the key connections between your developing knowledge of sciences and workplace environments.

You will examine and analyse key interactions between human anatomy and physiology and explore how they impact on workplace safety. You will also apply basic principles of chemistry, maths and physics relevant to workplaces and to evaluate and assess potential workplace hazards.
