Question: Occupational Health & Safety Advisor (ANZSCO code 251312)

saintfrancis · May 2014

Hi everyone.

Been a lurker for several months but finally decided to register and pop this inquiry. Meron po bang nagpa assess as safety advisor dito? I am currently working as a safety officer here in Saudi Arabia, with almost 2 years of experience. Registered nurse po ako sa pinas but I never practiced nursing in the hospital setting.

I did some browsing and nabasa ko that Vetassess will consider an assessment if the work experience is highly related to the nominated occupation.

Mag papa assess po sana ako sa vetassess sometime soon. Aside from my RN license, i've acquired a couple of safety trainings from Manila and here in Saudi Arabia, pero certificates lang po.

Sa tingin nyo may chance ako?Should I go for the assessment? Any thoughts/response will be highly appreciated.

Hello po. Just wondering if your application has been successful?my husband recently submitted his EOI and wala po kami masyado makitang discussion on this Occupational Health & Safety Advisor (ANZSCO code 251312). Thanks po

@MommyPups hello po, just want to check the status of your husband's application? My husband is planning to lodge (ANZSCO code 251312) still waiting for VetAssess result.

MommyPups · August 2016

Hello po. We got positive assessment po then we submitted EOI Jul 15, after 2 months we got ITA (God is good..) 60 points po ang claim nya..may nagkwento po sa amin na meron case na 65 points and within 6 months nakamove sila NSW.Good luck po, make it sure all details are checked bago magsubmit and samahan ng dasal...

jhazz01 · January 2017

@MommyPups @esh just want to know if nagrant na visa nyo under safety adviser, na delay na kasi sa amin kasi yung IELTs

MommyPups · January 2017

@jhazz01 Happy New Year po! still waiting pa rin po...there were additional documents requested from us, nasabayan ng holiday and they just resume reviewing applications last 9th of Jan and requested 1 more document from us. We did not use any agency so I think that's the downside we don't have anyone to scrutinize mga submitted docs namin kung sufficient na or hindi pa... we are hoping we will receive a positive result soon..nakakastress mag hintay but nevertheless we are positive...bahala na si Lord

Push nyo lang po since you've got a good chance already since you've got a positive assessment from Vetasses, that's a great start already it means may chance

esh · January 2017

Good pm po. Nabuhayan po ako nung makita ko ung thread na ito. I've submitted an application as OH&S Adviser sa Vetassess yesterday. Sa honest and experienced opinion may pagasa po ba ako na mkakuha ng positive?

Eto po case ko:

Qualification- Registered Nurse (Graduated 2007)- Highly relevant po ba to?
Addt'l Qualification- Integrated Mgmt System ISO9001,14001OHSAS 18001 online only last Sept 2013
NEBOSH Int'l Diploma - only Part B pa lang na pass ko last Sept. 2016- i-honor ba nila to?

Experience:

-Fire Safety Inspector/Safety Advisor (Aug 2009- Sept 2011) description signed by supervisor
-Firefighter/Driver Operator in Kuwait US- maybe not related base (Sept 2011- Sept 2013)
-Officer (Emergency Management Officer) with Safety inspector/advisor roles with job description signed by supervisor (Oct 2013-present)/ nakaindicate din po sa residence visa ko sa qatar na Safety and Security Technician (in Arabic nga lang po)

Sana lang po you can shed some knowledge and experience sa case ko. Congrats po sa inyong lahat na naging successful at sa ngpprocess pa dasal lang po tayo. Godbless po.

esh · May 2017

Jekfire · May 2017

I got a negative assessment. :-(

As stated in your outcome letter, your Bachelor of Science meets the required educational level however the major area of study, Nursing is not considered to be in a field highly relevant to the nominated occupation. Whilst you do have a NEBOSH certificate in International control of hazardous agents in the workplace, this is not a qualification in Occupational Health and Safety.
In regards to your employment at RasGas Company Limited, you do appear to be performing relevant tasks for the nominated occupation, however, as this employment does not follow a qualification which meets the required educational level in a highly relevant field, you do not meet the requirements to receive a positive outcome for Skills Assessment.

Ano po ba thoughts nyo dito? I have Integrated Management System certificate consisting of Quality Management System ISO 9001, Environmental management System ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001 kaso baka hindi nila to nakita sa upload kc niresize ko ung file.

Nagkatalo lang po ba sa job description or wala na po akong pagasa na pumasa in case magpa reasessed ako? I'm doing the OH&S role sa current work ko cguro nga dapat mas i-focus ko ANZSCO code as OH&S Adviser role.

Sobrang need ko po ng valuable insights nyo. Salamat po.

Jekfire · May 2017

@MommyPups @esh @jhazz01

I need your help and insights po. Pasensya na po sa abala. Salamat po in advance. Godbless

Jekfire · May 2017

@MommyPups @esh @jhazz01

As per VETASSESS sa website nila.

Qualifications which do not have a major in OH&S will be considered on a case-by case basis provided that the major is in an area related to the employment context, evidence of employment which is assessed as highly relevant to the nominated occupation and supported by in-house relevant training. For example, VETASSESS will consider an applicant who holds a qualification in building and construction as well as short courses and/or licensing in OH&S, combined with highly relevant employment in a construction setting, and working primarily in a full time OH&S role.

Ano po bang short course or licensing in OH&S meron po kau para makakuha ng positive asessment? Full time naman po ako as OH&S officer at pati duties iba nga lang po ung Job title ko which is Officer (Emergency Management Service).

Salamat po sa insights.

jhazz01 · May 2017

@Jekfire sorry to hear that. si husband ko kasi Safety Engr talaga siya at more on contruction siya as in safety adviser din title nya sa work nya currently. meron din siya mga training certificates related to safety. yung employment certificate nya detailed din with job description na related talaga dun sa description as define dun sa ANZSCO code.

good luck-

Jekfire · May 2017

Thanks @jhazz01

Nasagot na rin katanungan ko. eto reply nila skin. Dahil Nurse ako dapat as OH&S ako sa hospital.

Your Bachelor Degree in Nursing was considered additionally with your NEBOSH qualification is in International control of hazaardous agents in the workplace which is not Occupational Health and Safety. Additionally, using the above example, we do consider cases where there is evidence of employment which can be considered to be highly relevant nominated occupation. In your case, as your qualification majors in nursing, a highly relevant employment context would be in nursring where you are performing tasks highly relevant to an Occupational Health and Safety Professional.

Hello po sa lahat ko lang po kung anong option available for 251312 check lang po yung case ng friend ko.

nixz · December 2020

Hi po, I am an Industrial Engineering graduate thru ETEEAP and prior to that nag aral ako ng Hotel and Restaurant Management kaso hindi ko cya natapos. Right now I am working as HSE Specialist with different training like NEBOSH IGC (kulang pa ng GC2), ISO 45001 and 14001 Lead Auditor training. Need ko pa ba mag student visa to take Certificate IV and Diploma in WHS to have a positive assessment sa VetAssess?

Thank you sa sasagot.
