Overview
This WorkSafe approved training course will help a HSR to understand and exercise their powers effectively. This training equips HSRs with the confidence, skills and knowledge to represent their co-workers and to help make their workplace safer. Although HSRs are the primary audience, managers, supervisors, health and safety committee members, and anyone with an interest in health and safety, may also benefit from attending this course.
HSRs are entitled to attend an approved five-day training course in work health and safety and a one day refresher course each year during their term of office.
