This 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. To be recognised by WorkSafe, participants attending this course MUST be a Health and Safety Representative (HSR).
5 Days
Health and Safety Representatives need to confidently and competently engage everyone in meaningful communication about the risks and remedies for incidents and injuries in the workplace.
A 'representative' means a Health and Safety Representative or deputy HSR duly elected in accordance with the WHS Act.
Persons eligible for the WorkSafe WA HSR Training are HSRs or deputy HSRs elected under the WHS Act.
This course is primarily aimed at elected HSRs under the WHS Act who have requested approved training to gain an understanding of the management of work health and safety under the WHS legislation and their role and entitlements as HSRs.
However, managers and supervisors may also participate to gain knowledge of the requirements under the WHS Act and forge a better understanding of the roles and responsibilities of their Health and Safety Representative.
The course aims are to provide HSRs with information and skills relating to:
An effective Work Health and Safety (WHS) system is essential in any organisation to support a safer working environment. This course will explore how to implement, maintain and monitor an effective WHS system within your workplace.
Make a positive impact with inclusive leadership behaviours. This course, delivered in partnership with Lifeline WA, provides knowledge and practical skills for managers to create more psychological safety within their teams.
WHS incidents can range from minor non-compliance to catastrophic injury or death. It is therefore essential that organisations adopt a systematic approach to investigation of incidents and introduce measures to minimise or respond appropriately to future incidents.
Having an approach to risk management is never enough. Implementing the strategy and embedding it in the day-to-day activities of all staff is key to reducing the hazards and engaging employees.
