5 Day HSR Training Course Summary:
- Day 1 - The HSR training 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 and safety issues
and the mechanisms available. The role of HSRs and Health and Safety Committees (HSCs) and other
available mechanisms is discussed as well as entitlements and protections.
- Day 3 of the course examines the consultative approach that can be used in resolving workplace
health and 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 ways in which they can be eliminated or minimised.
- On Day 4 the learning outcomes of Day 3 are reinforced with a practical exercise. Incident
notification is discussed and activities demonstrating how HSRs can contribute to incident
investigation are also undertaken.
- On Day 5, the final day of the HSR training 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. The HSR training course concludes with a summary and review of the course learning outcomes and discussion on
sources of information that can assist HSRs in the continuous learning process.
