Who is the course for?
Under section 67 of the Victorian Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004, all elected HRSs and deputy HSRs, after completing an initial course of training, have an entitlement (for each year they hold office) to attend a refresher training course at least once in each year they hold office as health and safety representative. Health and safety reps may, in consultation with their employer, choose the course they wish to attend. Employers must be given at least 14 days’ notice of your intention to attend the course.
The courses are approved by WorkSafe Victoria under Section 67 of the OHS Act and Big B Personal and Workplace Solutions is approved to deliver the courses.
Although developed specifically for health and safety representatives, we also welcome and encourage the attendance of members of Health and Safety Committees, Management, Supervisors or any individual with an interest in health and safety who would also benefit from attending this course.

Aspects of the HSR Initial OHS Training Course revisited include:
- Interpreting the OHS legislation framework and its relationship to HSRs
- Identifying key parties and their legislative obligations and duties
- Establishing representation in the workplace
- Participating in consultation and issue resolution
- Representing DWG members in any OHS risk management process undertaken by the appropriate duty holder/s
