Need to understand your obligations and to implement OHS practices? We recommend this course is where you start your Occupational Health and Safety Training.

The OHS Act 2000 and the OHS Regulation 2001 requires that every workplace be safe from hazards and risk to health, safety and welfare of employees and anyone else who comes into the workplace.

This onus is complex and makes it imperative that every business-owner, manager and supervisor understands what is required to meet the obligations and are pro-active in eliminating and controlling hazards and risks.

The NSW OHS Act requires employers to ensure the health, safety and welfare of their employees at work, and that of any other person at the workplace. The aim of this course is to give managers and supervisors an understanding of their duties and obligations for OHS.
