Work Health & Safety – Australia
Product Description
Every worker owes a duty to take reasonable care for the health and safety of themselves and others at the workplace
The nation’s work health and safety obligations
Australia’s work health and safety laws have come a long way since commencing in 2012. Based on Victorian legislation, they have since been adopted by most states and territories. Western Australia has committed to applying the essential features of the harmonised laws to their own regime. This makes compliance training in these laws critical to understanding our work health and safety obligations nationwide.
Our Work Health and Safety (WHS) course applies to learners around Australia. It addresses the essential elements of the harmonised laws that all states and territories have in common, while also explaining where the Victorian laws differ.
The course covers all the duties and important things you and your staff need to know about the law – from a legal as well as from a practical perspective. It also places these duties and obligations in context by outlining who enforces the laws, and how.
Every worker has a duty of providing reasonable care for the health and safety of themselves and others in the workplace. They can also play a role in identifying, reducing or removing work health and safety risks. This course ensures that everyone can train in their relevant legal obligations wherever they are in the country.
COVID Risk Assessment
We have released a two-module set of training to assist staff and management in negotiating a return to the office. Some business are eager to return staff to the office full-time, and some staff are equally eager to comply. Other businesses and staff have different views.
In order for this to be successfully negotiated, both staff and management need a clear understanding of the risks and the legal and practical considerations that apply. This training provides them with the necessary knowledge.
The COVID Risk Assessment Training is bundled with this Work Health and Safety training – subscribers will have access to the new material at no extra charge.
Who should do this training?
This course provides all employees with critical safety training to prevent incidents, develop an appropriate workplace culture and minimise the risk of prosecutions and claims.
It is designed to cater for a diverse audience and all levels of staff. We therefore have generic modules aimed at all employees and some specific to senior management.
