Health and Safety Representative Initial OHS Training Course (5 Days)
The course is designed to enable HSRs to develop skills to represent the members of their Designated Work Group (DWG) and exercise their powers to make their workplace safer under the WHS Act.
The WHS Act 2011 provides the entitlement for a HSR to attend an initial course.
Employers under the WHS Act must allow a representative to attend an approved course on paid time, pay the cost of the course and must pay any other associated costs.
The role of the Health and Safety Representative (HSR) is primarily to liaise with other staff to identify health and safety issues and convey these to management. HSRs are elected by fellow staff to represent the views of the staff group.
