HSR Training is delivered and certificates are issued by the Training Aid Australia (RTO 91411)
Training Aid Australia is approved by SafeWork NSW to deliver this training course.
Health and Safety Representative (HSR) is a serious role and has powers and responsibilities under sections 68 and 69 of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011.
An HSR and deputy HSR play a pivotal role in gathering information about what the health and safety issues are for their work group. They can work out ways to resolve issues in consultation with PCBU representatives such as managers, supervisors, committees and other HSRs.
If an HSR has completed approved HSR training they can direct a worker in the work group to stop unsafe work if they reasonably believe workers would be exposed to a serious risk to their health and safety. This stop-work direction can only be given if the issue has not been resolved by consultation, or if the risk is so serious and immediate or imminent that it’s unreasonable to consult first.
An HSR can issue a Provisional Improvement Notice (PIN) if they reasonably believe there is a contravention of the Act.
By the end of the course learners will be able to:
- Interpret work health and safety legislation and its relationship to the role of an HSR.
- Identify key parties, legislative obligations and duties.
- Establish representation in the workplace.
- Participate in consultation and issue resolution.
- Represent members in the WHS risk management process undertaken by the Person Conducting Business or Undertaking (PCBU).
- Issue a provisional improvement notice (PIN) and direct the cessation of work.
