Introduction:
The role of a HSR
The role of a HSR is generally limited to their own work group unless:
- There is a serious risk to health or safety (created by an immediate hazard) affecting workers from another work group.
- A worker in another work group asks for the HSR’s assistance, and the HSR for that other work group is found to be unavailable.
From 1 February 2019, all HSRs must undertake the relevant approved training course within three months of their election unless a training course is not reasonably available within this period. Existing HSRs, who have not already completed the training, must complete the training within the required period. If a worker chooses not to undertake the training within the time period, they will no longer be eligible to fullfill the role of HSR and will need to be replaced. HSRs and deputy HSRs can ask a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) to attend approved courses. The PCBU must give HSRs paid time off to attend a course and pay the course costs and reasonable expenses, within three months of the request. A HSR can only issue a provisional improvement notice (PIN) if they have attended an approved training course.
Training courses approved under section 21 of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011, are:
- An initial five day training course
- A one day refresher course at least every three years. The entitlement to refresher training begins three years after the initial training.

Learning Methods:
The mode of delivery for this course is face to face in a classroom environment as well as significant practical elements outside of the classroom.
In the delivery of this course, our trainers focus on providing an individualised adult learning environment that considers the learner’s experience and employment history.
Theory is presented in a supportive learner centered environment designed to provide functional theoretical knowledge that is directly applicable to real world tasks.
Learning materials provided include the Harness student handbook and participants will be advised in advance of attending the course if there are any materials to be provided by them.
The assessment for this course has been designed to assess the individual to the Australian Qualification Framework, relevant Training Package, Australian and Industry expectations, as well as Commonwealth and State Legislation.
