Risk Management for
Managers and Supervisors

Who should attend?

Anyone in a management or supervisory position but the course is also very good for workers to understand the same principles and their own obligations.

What will they learn?

This package is a combined theoretical and practical session. Participants will be informed about the increasing regulatory responsibilities of “officers” under the “harmonised” WHS Act 2011 and develop skills in the practical application of risk identification, assessment and hazard control.

On completion of this training participants should be able to:

• Outline work, health and safety (WH&S) legal obligations of PCBU’s, Officers, Workers, and others under the new WHS Act 2011;
• Understand the importance of workplace health and safety consultation;
• Define a hazard and explain what risk means;
• Carry out an effective workplace inspection of the workplace;
• Use documentation to:
  – effectively assess the hazards identified following the workplace inspection practical exercise, and
  – determine how to eliminate or control the risk.
• Manage risks through the documentation of appropriate recommendations for elimination or control, to ensure the health and safety of all persons in the workplace; and.
• Develop a Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) from a workplace risk assessment.

Duration

Each training session will be six hours in duration plus a 30-minute lunch break, set-up and pack-down time.
