Year 2 Health and Safety Representative (HSR) Training

Course outline

In your second year as a Health and Safety Representative (HSR), you are ready to learn how to effectively represent your work group in health and safety matters.

This is the second program in a series of three, as part of your SafeWork-approved HSR training entitlement.

This three-day course highlights the need to collaborate and communicate effectively to create a positive workplace safety culture. It will ensure HSRs have the confidence to coordinate, engage and represent their working groups in work health and safety (WHS) matters, including multiple hazards and complex risks.

HSRs are legally obliged to identify reasonably foreseeable hazards that may put staff at risk. This course will help HSRs identify and mitigate hazards.

• Understand the responsibilities and duties of a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU), hazard risks and shared duties
• Provide a refreshed understanding of HSR duties
• Identify various elements of due diligence requirements of PCBUs and officers associated with managing specific and multiple hazards in a shared work environment
