Why do this course?

​

Often new members of a health and safety committee are also new to the subject of WHS. In order to be able to contribute to matters for discussion in HSC meetings, a new committee member needs to know the basics of the subject, such as who are WHS duty holders, what are their responsibilities, and how to feed back to management on WHS matters. 

​

This course additionally gives new committee members knowledge about WHS risk management, the knowledge of which is necessary for committee members to be able to contribute to discussions on health and safety plans, policies and measures for the workplace, and WHS matters that the PCBU needs to consult on. With this grounding a new HSC member can make worthwhile contributions and better facilitate the consultation process that is required to advance such WHS matters.
