SafeWork NSW
Initial 5-Day Health and Safety Representative (HSR) Course
Why do this course?
Health and Safety Representatives play an important role in how a business consults its people on matters of health and safety in the workplace. HSRs represent groups of workers in "work groups" that have been established for the purpose of WHS consultation. HSRs are automatically worker representatives of a health and safety committee if there is one too.
A HSR who has completed the 5-day HSR Course will be deemed to have undergone the training prescribed by the WHS Act 2011 and WHS Regulation 2017 in order to be able to issue a direction to cease unsafe work under Section 85 of the WHS Act, and issuing a PIN under Section 90 of the WHS Act, if consultation on the matter has failed.
Training must be provided by the business if so requested by an HSR within 3 months of the request.
Who Should Do the Course?
Persons from within the workplace who have been elected to represent the people in "work groups" that have been established by the business for the purpose of consultation on WHS matters, as per Part 5 of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (WHS Act.)
By enrolling in Courtenell’s NSW HSR Course, participants not only meet the regulatory requirements set by SafeWork but also position themselves as proactive leaders committed to creating safer and healthier workplaces making a lasting impact on the well-being of coworkers and the organization.
