Meet your business<br />
safety obligations with<br />
WorksafeReps training<br />
WorksafeReps has been<br />
successfully delivering<br />
workplace health<br />
and safety training since 2003.<br />
Our courses are designed<br />
to ensure that business owners<br />
and employees understand<br />
their responsibilities, either as<br />
a H&S Representative and/<br />
or as a manager/supervisor,<br />
under the current health and<br />
safety legislation (Health and<br />
Safety at Work Act 2015).<br />
The courses start with an<br />
initial training in the basic<br />
knowledge requirement for<br />
H&S representatives in the<br />
workplace.<br />
Participants are awarded<br />
the unit standard 29315<br />
– Describe the role and functions<br />
of the health and safety<br />
representative in a New<br />
Zealand workplace - after<br />
successfully completing the<br />
course.<br />
Our Stage 2 course focuses<br />
on managing risks, building<br />
knowledge and skills<br />
in hazard and risk management,<br />
and injury and accident<br />
investigation.<br />
The course covers important<br />
concepts, legal requirements<br />
and practical skills<br />
in hazard and risk management,<br />
and injury and accident<br />
investigation.<br />
The Stage 3 course<br />
(Advanced Training) extends<br />
participants’ skills so they can<br />
take an active part in injury<br />
management and continuous<br />
improvement of health and<br />
safety practice, to increase<br />
productivity and ensure that<br />
all workers can go home safely<br />
after work.<br />
The Manager course is<br />
designed for managers, supervisors,<br />
team leaders, and<br />
board members.<br />
This makes them aware of<br />
the health and safety legislation<br />
so that they understand<br />
the legislative responsibilities<br />
of a person conducting a business<br />
or undertaking (PCBU).<br />
The courses can be completed<br />
either face-to-face over<br />
two days, online or through a<br />
blended learning of one day in<br />
the classroom plus an online<br />
assessment.<br />
The courses are run in a<br />
friendly, non-threatening<br />
environment with the aim of<br />
informing workers, managers<br />
and those in a governance<br />
role, of their rights and obligations<br />
under the 2015 legislation.<br />
