This course is accredited by the Occupational Safety and Health Commission. Safety and Health Representatives are entitled to have time off with pay to attend an accredited training course.

The course applies to all elected Safety and Health Representatives including those from the mining and petroleum industry. It is designed to enable elected Safety and Health Representatives to effectively represent their fellow employees in matters relating to occupational health and safety at the workplace.

No pre-requisites are required for course attendance. People of all backgrounds and experience are encouraged to attend, with AITT providing support for language, literacy and numeracy barriers if needed. Course materials and supporting activities are structured to ensure that everyone attending can participate and contribute.

The objective is to give Safety and Health Representatives, and, if appropriate, supervisors, managers and others, the basic knowledge and skills to effectively perform their roles and functions under the legislation. The ultimate objective is to assist in improving safety and health in Western Australian workplaces.

Training strategies include classroom presentations, discussion and research sessions, and worksite and library visits. The course can be conducted anywhere in Western Australia and onsite if sufficient elected representatives are available.
