Health and Safety Representative Training

Health and Safety Representative Training

This course has been designed to equip health and safety representatives (HSR) with the basic knowledge and skills to effectively perform their roles and functions under the legislation with the ultimate aim of improving safety and health in Western Australia.

Overview

A Health and Safety Representative (HSR) needs to be skilled, confident and a good communicator to exchange ideas regarding the risks and controls for incidents in the workplace.

The Health and Safety Representatives Training has been designed to equip health and safety representatives (HSR) with the basic knowledge and skills to effectively perform their roles and functions under the legislation with the ultimate aim of improving safety and health in Western Australia.

The requirement for a health and safety representative (HSR) to undertake a course of training is outlined in the Work Health and Safety Act 2020 (WHS Act). The WHS Act provides the HSR training must be provided through a course of training that is approved by Work Health and Safety Commission.

This approved course offers the essential skills and knowledge to fulfil the requirements of the WHS Act and create a safer workplace for all your workers and customers.

A ‘representative’ means a Health and Safety Representative, or deputy Health and Safety Representative duly elected in accordance with the WHS Act.

Trainwest is committed to reducing the number of injuries, illnesses and diseases in Western Australian workplaces. The need for this training is clear and Trainwest can equip candidates with skills and knowledge to assist in reaching this goal.

This course is recommended for any elected health and safety representative in Western Australia.

Note that under Work health and safety legislation in Western Australia, formally elected health and safety representatives are entitled to time off work with pay to attend this accredited course.

The course does not provide a qualification and formal competencies are not assessed. However, candidate’s performance will be assessed on the knowledge and skills to perform their roles and functions under the legislation. The merits of competency-based training are recognised.
