A five-day initial HSR training course is available for newly elected HSR’s.

The role of a HSR includes additional powers and functions, including the ability to direct unsafe work practices to cease and issue a provisional improvement notices (PIN’s).

This course aims to assist HSR’s understand how the WHS legislation will influence health and safety outcomes in their workplace and familiarises participants with the information necessary to apply the principles of workplace consultation as an integral part of an effective Safety Management System (SMS).

This course has been developed specifically for Health & Safety Representatives in NSW who have previously completed the SafeWork Approved 5 Day Initial Training course.

This course aims to refresh HSR's knowledge of legislation, codes and guidance material and refresh their skills in applying that knowledge to workplace situations.

Under Clause 21 of the NSW WHS Regulation 2017, a PCBU must allow a health and safety representative or deputy health and safety representative, who requests training, to attend an approved refresher course (once a year after the initial course is undertaken), on paid time, and must pay the associated costs.

Upon completion of the course, HSR’s will have established initiatives for future activities and improvement of work health and safety within the organisation.

Although specific training for HSC members is no longer legislatively prescribed, the legislation does require a PCBU/employer to ensure they have provided their workers with any information, training, instruction or supervision that is necessary to protect all persons from risks to their health and safety (Section 19 [3] f).

As all prudent PCBU’s appreciate, you cannot expect to have an efficient and effective HSC if the committee members have not received specific training to help them understand and fulfil their legislative functions. Hence this course is designed to give participants the necessary skills and knowledge to be an effective member of a Health and Safety Committee (HSC) under the new WHS Act 2011.

Workplaces that have a base (worker’s compensation) premium of more than $50,000 are required to appoint a trained Return to Work Coordinator.
