Health And Safety Representative Course

A HSR must have undertaken this training in order to issue a Provisional Improvement Notice (PIN).

The role of the Health and Safety Representative (HSR) is primarily to liaise with other staff to identify health and safety issues and convey these to management. HSRs are elected by fellow staff to represent the views of the staff group.

HSRs in Queensland are entitled to attend this five day training course within three months of making a request for such training to their PCBU.

Employers are required to allow the HSR to take time off work to attend this training. Likewise, HSRs are also entitled to attend one day refresher courses at least every three years, with the entitlement to the first refresher training commencing three years after the initial training (as per Section 21 of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 (Qld)).
