This WorkSafe-approved training course will help HSRs to understand and exercise their powers effectively. The training will provide HSRs with the confidence, skills and knowledge to represent their designated work group when raising health and safety concerns in relation to work-related gendered violence including sexual harassment. Although HSRs/Deputy HSRs are the primary audience, managers, supervisors, health and safety committee members may also benefit from attending this course.

Under the OHS Act 2004 (section 67) all elected HSRs and Deputy HSRs have an entitlement to time off work with pay to attend an annual HSR Refresher OHS Training Course and in consultation with their employer, choose the course they wish to attend. 

The Act also requires employers to pay course fees and other associated expenses for reps attending training. Employers must be given at least 14 days’ notice of a rep’s intention to attend a course of training. 

The course is limited to a maximum of 16 participants. 

Cost - $360 for IEU members/$400 for non members
