Safety - Health & Safety Representatives

NOST offers a variety of training programs suitable for H & S Representatives varying in duration from 4 hours up to 5 days (WHS Queensland approved course).

Background
The new, harmonised WHS Act makes provision for H & S Representatives in the workplace. H & S Representatives are elected by their co-workers to represent them on WHS issues. H & S Reps:
  • can carry out inspections and review the circumstances of workplace incidents.
  • can participate in the workplace health and safety committee.
  • do not need any experience or special qualification but are entitled to paid training, if requested.
The Queensland WHS Act promotes consultation between H & S Representatives and management about the training that should be undertaken by the H & S Representatives. If no agreement can be reached, the H & S Reps are entitled to attend the approved 5 day H & S Representative training program.

National On Site Training offers a variety of fully customisable training programs for H & S Representatives with durations ranging from 4 hours up to the approved 5 day program. The content, emphasis and documents used during all these programs will be fully customised to your workplace.
