About this Event

The HSR Refresher OHS training course held over one day relates specifically to health and aged care workplaces, with a strong focus on issues and hazards relevant to nursing and midwifery. This WorkSafe-approved HSR refresher course is an opportunity to revisit aspects of the initial course and refresh HSRs' knowledge of:

  • the OHS legislative framework
  • legislative obligations and duties
  • representation in the workplace
  • consultation and issue resolution

Specific topics that will be covered in this training are:

  • Hazardous Manual Handling
  • Occupational Violence and Aggression
  • Consultation, Communication and Negotiation

This course is approved by WorkSafe Victoria.

Under Section 67 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004, HSRs and Deputy HSRs, after being elected, are entitled after completing the initial course, to attend an approved one day refresher course at least once in each year that they hold office. The course must be chosen by the HSR in consultation with their employer. The HSR is entitled to time off work with pay and the costs associated with attendance at the course paid by the employer inclusive of the course fee.

There is a maximum of 20 participants and a minimum of 12 participants for this course. PLEASE NOTE: The course won’t go ahead if the minimum number is not reached – the ANMF will notify you if this is the case.


FAQs


Invoice for course fee

Upon the HSR completing the training course, the ANMF (Vic Branch) will email an invoice to the DON/General Manager or relevant person of the facility requesting payment for training within 14 days, unless payment has already been remitted through an alternative payment method.

If you are unable to attend, please contact the ANMF immediately as you/your employer will still be invoiced.

About the elected HSR

Employees are entitled to be represented in relation to health and safety matters. An HSR is the vital link in the communication process between the employees and the employer in relation to occupational health and safety.

An HSR represents the employees in their Designated Work Group (DWG) by raising, monitoring and resolving OHS matters with their employer.

The key factor to remember is that an elected HSR represents the interests of the employees. It is not an appointed position and does not have any associated responsibility for meeting the health and safety obligations of the employer.
