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.
Under the OHS Act 2004 (section 67) all elected HSRs and Deputy HSRs are entitled to undertake a WorkSafe Victoria approved OHS training course, and choose their training course in consultation with their employer. HSRs are also entitled to attend a one-day refresher course each year during their term of office.
