Applied Safety Worker

ERGT’s Applied Safety Worker (ASW) course is designed for personnel who require confined space, gas testing, working at height and working with permit training so they are competent to undertake roles in resource industries. The clustered course structure enables greater meaning and context, facilitating better transference of learning into the workplace.
