CAIRNMEAD OFFERS A RANGE OF OHS SECTOR TRAINING COURSES
The Cairnmead Faculty of Safety aims to be the leading provider of professional education and training within the occupational health and safety( OHS) sector. With over two decades of experience in consulting and compliance through their parent company, Cairnmead, the Faculty of Safety was established to meet a growing need for structured, accredited, and practically relevant health and safety courses.
The primary objective is to empower individuals and organisations with the knowledge and competence required to create safer construction sites and to elevate professional standards across the built environment.

These courses are recognised by prominent industry bodies, including SACPCMP, SAIA, ASAQS, and ECSA.

Whether studying from the office or on site, participants can seamlessly integrate their learning into their professional schedules without compromising quality or accreditation standards.
