GOTAFE
1 day
A 1-day WorkSafe-approved refresher course for Health and Safety Representatives to refresh their HSR skills and learn how to effectively manage plant, machinery and equipment safety risks in the workplace.
Ideally, students should be Health and Safety Representatives from industry who have completed the initial HSR training in previous years. Students must have access to a digital camera or video camera for visual and audio assessment tasks, and general stationery (pens, pencils, rulers). No formal prerequisites are required, though prior HSR training is recommended.
The course covers refreshing HSR knowledge and skills, understanding how to effectively use HSR powers relating to plant safety, identifying plant hazards and associated risks, participating in the identification, prevention and control of plant-related risks, and raising health and safety concerns relating to machinery and equipment. Participants will engage in discussions, case study analysis, and group activities, and reflect on how legislative changes and plant safety issues apply in their own workplace.
GOTAFE is a registered training organisation (RTO 3094) delivering WorkSafe-approved training across Northern Victoria. This course is specifically approved by WorkSafe Victoria and helps HSRs meet their annual refresher training entitlement under the OHS Act 2004. GOTAFE offers flexible delivery across multiple regional campuses and provides comprehensive student support services.
Participants will gain skills to represent a work group in the safety sphere and can progress to further study in the BSB41419 Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety. HSRs completing this refresher maintain their eligibility to serve as Health and Safety Representatives and can apply their refreshed knowledge in their HSR role to better protect workers from plant and machinery-related hazards.
