Career Opportunities
Recent development in safety regulations means that there are very good employment prospects for graduates of the program. Fatigue has recently been classified as an identifiable work place hazard and all relevant organizations are now required to present a fatigue management plan under relevant industry legislation. Preparation of a fatigue risk management plan in rail, road and mining will require an appropriately qualified individual to assist in the design, implementation and evaluation of this plan. In addition, regulatory agencies tasked with approving fatigue risk management plans will require an appropriately trained individual.
