Health and Safety Representative Training

It’s important that Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) understand their role and how, where and when to use their legal powers.

To help develop the skills needed to effectively represent workers in their work group, HSRs are entitled to attend approved HSR training and should do so as soon as possible after being elected.

Training entitlements during a 3-year term of office are:

• First year – 5 days
• Second year – 3 days
• Third year – 2 days

 

HSRs and deputy HSRs are entitled to undertake specific HSR training.

HSRs may attend an initial training course of five days in the first year of office, three days for the second year of office and two days for the third year of office.

The HSR 1 day refresher course is aimed at providing a brief overview of the learning outcomes covered during an HSR’s first term of office, with particular attention to amendments to WHS legislation and supporting resources.
