Although employers have the duty to provide and maintain a safe workplace, its workplace leaders like managers and supervisors who have the day-to-day operational responsibilities and have a critical role to play in implementing the OHS decisions of their employer.

We believe elected health and safety representatives make a very significant difference in helping to achieve better health and safety outcomes in workplaces, particularly in those workplaces where managers and supervisors are also trained.

This is because health and safety representatives provide employees with a pathway to have their views and concerns about health and safety heard by the employer.

The series wasn’t what I was expecting, but it definitely delivered what I needed. Brian did not bring his agenda along at all, all the twists and changes came from me, but he made it possible.

I enjoyed the discussion about risk, hazard identification and consultation.

My learning was motivated by the way Brian guided us through learner questions and how we applied these to scenarios to our workplaces.
