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.

This course will guide you through the internationally recognised structure of a WHS Management System, and importantly what you need to do to meet legislative requirements.
Every manager wants to develop the 'right' Work Health and Safety (WHS) culture for their business but many struggle to describe what that culture would actually look like. This course is designed to provide an introduction to the process of shaping the culture of an organisation which forms a critical part of ensuring excellent WHS performance and the ongoing viability of your business.
