Melb CBD HSR Initial OHS Training Course - Commencing Monday 7 April

Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) have a vital role in workplace OHS. To exercise powers and rights as an HSR effectively, it is important that HSRs (and if applicable), any deputy HSR (DHSR) receive training. This WorkSafe-approved course will provide HSRs with the skills, knowledge and confidence to represent the members of their designated work group.

HSR training is not intended to train HSRs to be health and safety professionals or to fulfil an employer's obligations in relation to OHS.

Although the course is designed for HSRs, it would also benefit managers, supervisors, health and safety committee members and anyone with an interest in health and safety.

Under the OHS Act 2004 (section 67) all elected HSRs and deputy HSRs are entitled to undertake WorkSafe Victoria approved OHS training for HSRs and choose their training course in consultation with their employer. RMIT is approved to deliver the HSR Initial OHS Training Course.

Under section 67 of the Victorian OHS Act 2004 an employer, if requested, must allow an elected HSR and elected Deputy HSR to attend a WorkSafe approved HSR Initial OHS Training Course on paid time, pay the cost of the course and any other associated costs. Section 67 also allows HSRs to choose the approved training course they attend in consultation with their employer.

5 Day Course

Includes training materials, morning tea and lunch
