Why do this course?

​

A health and safety committee helps the business to develop WHS policy and procedures for the workplace. A WHS committee (HSC) is made up of representatives from management and representatives from the workforce. HSRs are included as worker representatives. ​An HSC may also assist a business to consult its workers on matters of health and safety in the workplace.

​

New HSC members may not have any WHS experience. This course teaches WHS basics that an HSC member needs to know in order to be able to contribute as a committee member, as well as what an HSC is and its role in helping senior management comply with its WHS legal requirements.
