Although HSRs are the primary audience, managers, supervisors, health and safety committee members and anyone else with an interest in health and safety may also benefit from attending this course.
If OHS training has not been undertaken in over 2 years, this course may be a good opportunity to update your OHS skills. (note: HSRs have only one entitlement for initial training however the absence of an entitlement does not prevent an employer who recognises the benefits of HSRs receiving training from allowing them to attend additional courses).
After completing the Worksafe Approved 5 Day Health and Safety Representative Course, HSRs and deputy HSRs can do a one-day refresher once every year. View our refresher course here.
