Why do this course?

​

Experienced health and safety committees may face operational challenges that can undermine both the committee's effectiveness and the quality of consultation between the PCBU and the workforce regarding WHS matters.

 

These challenges may include the repurposing of the committee as a quasi-management body, or efforts by individuals in management to dump their non-delegable duties on the committee. It may simply be a matter of new management personnel who need some help to become fully familiar with the WHS management system.

​​

This course examines the foundational principles of WHS Law including the identification of WHS duty holders and their respective responsibilities, WHS risk management, and the PCBU's duty to consult with everyone in the workforce that will be or may be affected by a WHS matter.

 

Participants are encouraged to examine the challenges that are specific to their HSC and their workplace and discuss practical solutions that restore the committee's proper role and functions. The course clarifies the committee's place within the overarching WHS management system in accordance with the WHS Act and WHS Regulation.
