WorkSafe Victoria HSR Refresher OHS Training Course – Work-related Stress

This WorkSafe-approved training course will help HSRs to understand and exercise their powers effectively. The training will provide HSRs with the confidence, skills and knowledge to represent their designated work group when raising health and safety concerns in relation to work-related stress. Although HSRs/Deputy HSRs are the primary audience, managers, supervisors, health and safety committee members may also benefit from attending this course.
