Southern African Society for Quality
Professional body for the registration of quality, environmental,
health and safety and SHEQ practitioners
www.sasq.org.za
SASQ is the only Southern African
professional organisation for the
registration, grading and continual
professional development of Quality,
Environmental, Health and Safety
and SHEQ practitioners.
Let’s thinks about professional development. Would you go for medical treatment to a doctor who has qualified
50 years ago, and will perform an operation with a heated knife and sews you up with a needle and cotton?
Think about it. Would a company employ an accountant who has qualified many years go with no professional
upgrading. This type of accountant will be comfortable running a manual cash book, a manual ledger and
manual journals, and with no upgrading will not be able to use an electronic system. Who will employ such an
accountant today? The message is clear, all professionals will need upgrading of skills and normally these are
provided by the various professional bodies.
This is exactly what SASQ is to our members. It is a platform for the upgrading of skills and knowledge.
Professional development refers to skills and knowledge attained for both personal development and career
advancement. Professional development encompasses all types of facilitated learning opportunities, ranging
from college degrees to formal coursework, conferences and informal learning opportunities situated in practice.
It has been described as intensive and collaborative, ideally incorporating an evaluative stage. There are a
variety of approaches to professional development, including consultation, coaching, and communities of
practice, lesson study, mentoring, reflective supervision and technical assistance.
So quality, environmental, health, safety and SHEQ practitioners and professionals think carefully about your
careers and upgrading through SASQ before you become “OUTDATED”.
IMPORTANT
• You cannot be a professional if you are not a
member of a professional body.
• You are a professional only if a professional body
graduates you as one.
• Professionals protect their profession by been
professional.
• Professionals support and involve themselves with
their professional bodies.
