HomeCourses › Health & Safety Representative

A health and safety representative is the link between workers and management on health and safety. To do that well, an HSR needs to understand their role under the Health and Safety at Work Act and know the hazards on their own site. This training is built specifically for your workplace, working from your hazards and procedures so your HSRs are ready for the job in front of them.

Who is this training for?

It is for the workers elected or appointed as health and safety representatives in a New Zealand workplace, and for the managers who work alongside them.

Because it is built per site from your own hazards and SOPs, HSRs train on the real risks and procedures of their workplace, not a generic template.
