Non-Accredited Course
This Work Health and Safety Commission-approved course equips Health and Safety Representatives (HSRS) with the latest knowledge and skills required to represent work groups and exercise powers and functions under the Work Health and Safety Act 2022 (WHS Act).
This course reviews the learning outcomes of the initial training, covering the interpretation of the WHS legislative framework, identification of key parties and their legislative obligations, the establishment of workplace representation, participation in consultation and issue resolution, representation of members in the WHS risk management process, and the issuance of Provisional Improvement Notices (PIN) and directives for work cessation.
There is also an opportunity for students to share their experiences and challenges.
Interactive sessions, practical exercises, and feedback mechanisms will ensure the training is engaging and effective.
HSRs who have completed the initial five-day Health and Safety Representative course are entitled to one day of refresher training annually.
Note that under the WHS Act in Western Australia, formally elected health and safety representatives are entitled to time off work with pay to attend this refresher training.
This course is recommended for any elected health and safety representative in Western Australia and have completed the initial five-day Health and Safety Representative Training course.
