Health and Safety Representative HSR (Initial)

Register

Health and safety representatives (HSRs) play a key role in the consultation process outlined in the Work Health and Safety Act 2011. HSRs are elected by workers to represent the interests of members of that work group, in terms of work health and safety matters.

As stated by the WHS Regulation 2011 and for the purposes of section 72 (1) of the Act, an elected health and safety representative is entitled to attend the following courses of training in work health and safety:

  1. an initial course of training of 5 days
  2. 1 day’s refresher training each year, with the entitlement to the first refresher training commencing 1 year after the initial training.

On successful completion of the 5 day course, a HSR is entitled to exercise their powers (to issue PINS or direct a person to cease unsafe work) for the term they hold office.

This course provides an understanding of the principles required to fulfil the powers/functions of a HSR and meets the requirements for elected HSR’s and Deputy HSR’s under the Work Health and Safety (WHS) Act 2011.

For further information, SafeWork NSW has a guide on HSR participation.
