HSR INITIAL OHS TRAINING COURSES
Victoria
A 5-day Initial OHS course


The Health & Safety Representatives (HSRs) Initial OHS Training Course (face-to-face) is primarily designed for HSRs - and their deputies. However managers, supervisors, Health and Safety Committee members - and indeed anyone with an interest in workplace health and safety  - also will benefit from attending the program.

OSHA is approved by WorkSafe Victoria to conduct this course.

What We Cover:

The initial course is delivered over five days. This can be delivered over five consecutive days, or spread over a longer time with training delivered in ‘blocks’ of time no less than one day in duration.

The learning objectives of the course are to:

  • 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, issue resolution and the OHS risk management process
  • understand the roles, functions, rights & powers of HSRs
