Additional Information

Learning Objectives

The learning objectives of this course will cover: 


  • interpret the occupational health and safety legislative framework and its relationship to the HSR
  • identify key parties and their legislative obligations and duties
  • establish representation in the workplace
  • participate in consultation and issue resolution
  • represent designated work group members in any OHS risk management process undertaken by the appropriate duty holder
  • issue a provisional improvement notice (PIN) and direct the cessation of work

Duration

The initial course is delivered over five days (35 hours excluding breaks)


Purpose

To exercise powers and rights as an HSR effectively, it is important that HSRs and if applicable any deputy HSRs (DHSRs) receive training. This will provide HSRs with the skills, knowledge and confidence to represent the members of their DWG.


HSRs have an entitlement to attend initial and refresher training if they ask to attend these courses.

Who can participate in this course?

Although the course is designed for HSRs, managers, supervisors, health and safety committee members and anyone with an interest in health and safety could also benefit from attending an HSR training course.

Remember

you can choose your preferred training provider:

"All elected HSRs/DHSRs are entitled to attend WorkSafe approved HSR OHS training and choose their course in consultation with their employer" under section 67 of The Victorian Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004"
