HSR Course Initial 5 Day

SafeWork NSW Initial 5-Day
Health and Safety Representative (HSR) course

Why do this course?

Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) play an important role in how a business consults workers on workplace health and safety matters. HSRs represent groups of workers within established work groups for the purpose of work health and safety (WHS) consultation. If the organisation also has a health and safety committee, HSRs are automatically members of that committee as worker representatives.

An HSR who has completed the SafeWork NSW approved 5-day HSR Course is deemed to have completed the training prescribed under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and Work Health and Safety Regulation 2025.

Completion of this training enables HSRs to exercise certain powers under the WHS Act, including issuing a direction to cease unsafe work under Section 85 or a Provisional Improvement Notice (PIN) under Section 90, where the relevant legal requirements have been met, including unsuccessful consultation on the matter.

If requested by an HSR, the business must provide the training within 3 months of the request.

Duration

5 days - 9am to 4.00pm (4:30pm finish on Day 1.)

NOTE: Persons must fully complete all 5 days of the course to receive certification.
