Health & Safety Representatives have significant rights and power - but have no responsibilities for health and safety in their organisations. HSRs are legally entitled to attend a 5-day training course - and an annual Refresher course.
Managers and supervisors have no such entitlement - yet they are legally responsible and liable for health & safety performance and outcomes.
SO WHAT TRAINING DO YOUR MANAGERS AND SUPERVISORS RECEIVE?

This program helps address this imbalance. By developing a clear overview of the needs and requirements of their organisation - and their responsibilities and duties - in relation to work / occupational health and safety, managers and supervisors will be better able to understand what is required, identify and respond to achievable objectives and more effectively participate in the health and safety process.
Particular attention will be paid to the various management responsibilities that need to be addressed: efficient operation, productivity and quality of service, industrial relations, legal and public image.
The importance of managing the W/OHS function in a pro-active manner - of managers, supervisors and employees/health and safety representatives working together (and utilising resources such as the health and safety committee) - will be emphasised throughout the course.
Skills development will allow participants to return to their workplaces with an increased ability to analyse their own working environments for factors that may be hazardous to employees.
This dynamic strategy recognises the rapidly changing nature of work-related risks and hazards associated with new technology and the importance of increased awareness of the causes of work-related illnesses and disease. It is designed to allow for the changing nature, culture and business goals of the client organisation.
IN-HOUSE OPTION
This program for managers and supervisors - and all duty holders in an organisation - also is available as an in-house course with 1, 2 and 3-day options.
