Specific Five-Day Introductory Courses for Health and Safety Reps (HSRs)

Terms 1, 2, 3 and 4

The five-day introductory course is a statutory requirement for newly elected HSRs. It provides health and safety representatives within the Education Department with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively perform their functions in protecting and promoting the work health and safety of those they represent. This newly-developed course has been created based on the new WHS Act, 2020 and will provide updated information regarding new definitions related to the legislation and the expanded duties of parties including their functions and powers. If you were an elected HSR since March 2022 you are eligible to attend this five-day course. The course is open to members and non-members of the SSTUWA and to all Department of Education staff.
