Victorian Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (VIOSH) Australia is the Asia-Pacific centre for teaching and research in occupational health and safety (OHS) and is known as one of Australia's leaders on the field. VIOSH has a global reputation for its innovative approach within the field of OHS management. VIOSH had its first intake of students in 1979. At that time the Institution was known as the Ballarat College of Advanced Education. In 1990 it became known as Ballarat University College, then in 1994 as University of Ballarat. It was 2014 that it became Federation University. VIOSH Australia students are safety managers, senior advisors and experienced OHS professionals. They come from all over Australia and industry. Students are taught active research and enquiry; rather than textbook learning and a one-size fits all approach. VIOSH accepts people into the Graduate Diploma of Occupational Hazard Management who have no undergraduate degree - on the basis of extensive work experience and knowledge. Letter written by John Edwards acknowledges the work done by VIOSH over the previous 21 years. It outlines the numerous people who have been through the Graduate Diploma in Occupational Hazard Management who are working in the Airlines and Flight Safety Investigations. He has also included the contact information for members of the Australasian Aerospace Industry Occupational Health and Safety Association and Aerosha Address List.Seven A4 type written pages - 4 white and 3 pinkVIOSH symbol and address' Aviation Safety Services address and symbol.
