This WorkSafe approved Refresher training course will assist HSRs' and Deputy HSRs' understanding of how they can effectively use their powers when participating in the identification, prevention and control of the risks associated with work-related stress

​

Mental health is a state of wellbeing that allows people to realise their potential while coping with the ordinary challenges of life. This training course covers the important subject area of work-related stress and factors which can impact mental health and safety.

 

Work-related factors, also known as psychosocial hazards, are anything in the management or design of work that increases the risk of work-related stress, which can lead to physical injury, mental injury or even both at the same time.

​

HSRs are in a position where they can act on behalf of employees in their designated work group to raise issues which are identified, and to do this they require a level of understanding of the subject matter. This training steps through information on work-related stress to assist in providing that level of understanding to enable the HSR to identify factors which are impacting mental health and safety. With this knowledge they are able to liaise with their designated work group and management to raise issues as they are identified.

​

Although HSRs / Deputy HSRs are the primary audience, managers, supervisors, health and safety committee members may also benefit from attending this course.

​

This HSR Refresher OHS Training Course is offered as an alternative to the standard HSR Refresher OHS Training course 1 and 2 and will also provide HSRs and deputy HSRs with the opportunity to refresh their skills and knowledge of Victorian OHS legislation, workplace hazards and employee consultation and revisit aspects of the HSR Initial Training Course.  

 

The HSR Refresher OHS Training Course is interactive; activity based and will provide all participants with OHS knowledge and skills to take back and implement in their workplace.

• Work related stress

• The value of HSRs to workplace safety

• Legal framework and the OHS Act 2004
