These refresher workshops are also commonly undertaken by HSRs who have been re-elected for a second term, helping them stay current with WHS legislation, strengthen their consultation skills, and continue making a positive impact in the workplace.
WHS for Supervisors
This workshop is intended for supervisors, managers and team leaders so they can gain an understanding of their legal requirements under the legislation, and how to meet these requirements and provide a safe workplace for their staff and contractors.
What is Workplace Health and Safety?
Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) involves the assessment and mitigation of risks in your workplace that have potential to impact the health, safety or welfare of your staff. Previously known as Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S), WHS may also affect the health and safety of your customers, visitors, contractors, volunteers and suppliers. If you are a business owner, there are legal requirements you need to comply with for your organisation to meet its WHS obligations.
Why is WHS important?
It’s a legal requirement for businesses to create a safe work environment for everyone, and it’s critical to the long term success of your business. Creating a safe work environment can:
• Help you to retain your staff
• Maximise productivity amongst your employees
• Minimise risk of injury and illness in the workplace
• Reduce any associated costs of injury and workers compensation
• Help you meet your legal obligations and employee responsibilities
Why is health and safety important in the workplace?
Effective health and safety procedures significantly reduce the risk of workplace injuries and illnesses. Providing training is essential — it equips employees with the knowledge and skills to follow safe work practices, understand their responsibilities, and contribute to a safer, healthier work environment.
Who is responsible for WHS?
Unsure who is responsible for safety in the workplace?
Both workers and business owners have obligations to fulfill when it comes to meeting health and safety requirements. Business owners have legal responsibilities to implement practices as soon as a business opens. It’s important to ensure that a business doesn’t create health and safety problems for employees, contractors, volunteers, visitors, customers or the public.
