Why Do This Course?

​

Under the WHS Act, every organisation (PCBU) must consult with workers and other businesses on health and safety matters that may affect them before making final decisions for their resolution. Consultation is mandatory—but the Act leaves it up to you to decide how to implement appropriate systems and procedures. 

​

If your business is considering formalising, modifying or fine-tuning its existing WHS consultation arrangements, this course may help you to:

​

• Review your current approach to WHS consultation

• Explore practical options to improve communication on resolving WHS matters

• Design a system that fits your business model while meeting legal obligations

 

Many organisations start with informal processes that work for a time, but as your business grows or circumstances change, those arrangements may no longer be effective or compliant. This workshop provides guidance and tools to support that transition.

 

Who Should Attend?

 

This course may be useful for:

​

• Directors and CEOs

• Senior Managers

• Leaders responsible for WHS compliance and consultation processes

 

It is the duty of Directors and CEOs to ensure that the business complies with its mandatory obligations which includes WHS consultation. If you’re thinking about changing or formalising your consultation systems, this workshop may help you to make informed decisions.

Why Consider This Now?

​

Consultation failures are frequently the root cause of workplace health and safety incidents. The Act emphasizes the need for consultation between management and the workforce on WHS matters. Non-compliance can lead to significant penalties and operational risks. This course may help you to turn compliance into an opportunity to create a safer, more engaged workplace.​​​
