Risk Management for
Managers and Supervisors

Who should attend?

This course is designed for those in management or supervisory roles, but it is also highly beneficial for workers to understand these principles and their own responsibilities.

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:

• Understand the work, health, and safety (WHS) legal obligations of PCBUs, officers, workers, and others under the WHS Act 2011.
• Recognise the significance of workplace health and safety consultation.
• Define what constitutes a hazard and explain the concept of risk.
• Conduct an effective workplace inspection.
• Use documentation to:
  • Assess hazards identified during the workplace inspection practical exercise
  • Determine how to eliminate or control risks.
• Manage risks by documenting appropriate recommendations for hazard elimination or control to ensure the health and safety of all individuals in the workplace.
• Develop a Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) from a workplace risk assessment.

Duration

Each training session will run for six hours, with an additional 30-minute lunch break, as well as time allocated for set-up and pack-down.
