FACE TO FACE DELIVERY OVERVIEW

This Health and Safety Representative (HSR) refresher course is designed to renew and reinforce the knowledge and skills gained during the initial five-day HSR training. It provides HSRs with updated information on current work health and safety (WHS) legislation and best practices to support them in effectively fulfilling their role. 

The course revisits key topics such as the WHS legislative framework, the roles and responsibilities of duty holders, and essential WHS terminology. Participants will also review the role of SafeWork NSW and the penalties for non-compliance, as well as the requirements for workplace consultation and the functions of Health and Safety Committees (HSCs). Practical components include strategies for resolving WHS issues, identifying and managing hazards, understanding incident notification and investigation procedures, and exercising HSR powers such as issuing Provisional Improvement Notices (PINs) and directing unsafe work to cease.
