Course Structure
The course commences with an overview of the WHS legislative framework;
duties of various parties and key terminology. The role of WorkCover and
penalties for non-compliance is also discussed.
Day 2 covers the requirements for consultation in the workplace on work
health & safety issues and the mechanisms available. The role of HSRs and Health
& Safety Committees [HSCs] is discussed, as well as entitlements and
protections.
Day 3 examines the consultative approaches that can be used in resolving
workplace health & safety issues through negotiation and conflict resolution and
the skills HSRs can utilise to achieve successful outcomes. This day's training
also aims to provide participants with the skills and knowledge to identify
hazards and the ways in which they can be eliminated or minimised.
The learning outcomes of Day 3 are reinforced through a practical exercise on
Day 4. Incident notification is discussed and activities demonstrating how
HSRs can contribute to incident investigation are undertaken
On Day 5, the final day of the course, participants are provided with the
information and skills HSRs and deputy HSRs require regarding the issuing of
Provisional improvement Notices [PINs] and directing unsafe work to cease where
negotiation and issue resolution has been unsuccessful or immediate action is
required.
