Why do this training?

 

​Courtenell’s half-day WHS Duties for Workers course is delivered on site, at your premises, allowing participants to engage with the material in the context of their own workplace.

 

The course focuses on the specific health and safety requirements of workers in the workplace and how they must conduct themselves within the WHS management system of the organisation. 

​

Emphasis is placed on workplace behaviour, cooperation, and alignment with established systems and processes including participating in the mechanisms established by the business for consulting on WHS matters. 

​

By examining the relationship between duty holders, the course helps clarify how shared responsibilities operate in practice and how effective cooperation contributes to a safe and well-managed workplace.

 

In WHS Law, the term "worker" also includes supervisors and managers. While they play a key role in day‑to‑day operations, managers and supervisors contribute to, rather than make, decisions for the company and are therefore not considered "officers of the PCBU [organisation]." Officers [Directors and CEOs] have the assurance role under WHS Law, while the organisation itself is responsible for providing the WHS management system in the first place.
