WorkCover NSW Health & Safety Representives Courses
Under the NSW WHS Act, Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) replace OHS Representatives and Health and Safety Committees (HSCs) replace OHS Committees. HSRs are entitled under section 72 of the WHS Act to attend training in work health and safety. The WorkCover approved training is a five day initial course followed by a one day refresher course each year thereafter.
In addition to the five day course, WorkCover has approved a 1 day gap/bridging training course for HSRs who have transitioned from the role of OHS Representative or elected OHS Committee member and who have previously completed the WorkCover Course in OHS Consultation.
As a WorkCover approved training provider, Alpine OH&S Consulting can deliver both the 5 day HSR training course and the 1 day HSR gap training course.
Business success means rising above the pack. This applies to all facets of your business - production, customer service, quality, financial management and occupational health and safety.
Alpine OH&S Consulting are able to provide this business advantage to you. We can assist you to achieve OH&S legislative compliance, but often that is not enough to ensure that your employees and your business are protected, and are able to reap the benefits that a positive safety culture* can deliver!
World class organisations understand that exemplary safety standards contribute significantly to business success and a healthy bottom line, and that they can only sustain this through continuing commitment to, and investment in, workplace safety.
*The U.K. Health and Safety Commission defines safety culture as:
“The product of individual and group values, attitudes, perceptions,
competencies, and patterns of behaviour that determine the commitment
to, and the style and proficiency of, an organization’s health and
safety management”.
In more simple terms “it’s the way we do things (safely) around here”.
