Responsibilities for WHS Duty Holders
AIMS
The Work Health and Safety laws expand on the foundational premise that there are specific WHS Duty Holders who have specific duties to perform and expectations to be met at the workplace. These duties cannot be delegated and persons can be in more than one category of duty holder depending on their role and their tasks.
Courtenell’s half-day WHS Responsibilities for Duty Holders course covers each of the four duty holders stated in the WHS Act, their responsibilities and how they interact with each other to forward the success of the WHS management system and thereby the health and wellbeing of all persons in the workplace.
The course also covers how multiple businesses interact with each other while operating at the same premises or work sites, with contractors and with the suppliers. While this course is primarily a legislative-based training program, it uses real-world examples, case studies, and scenarios that apply to all persons and positions that have duties under WHS law.
While the standard program addresses all four duty holder classes, it can be delivered for a single class to ensure precise compliance with role‑specific duties.
