Workplace Health & Safety

Workplace Health and Safety Online Course

HHR LearnOnline Course Overview

Employees have an obligation to work in a safe manner to protect themselves and others in their workplace, but do they know what their responsibilities, rights, and obligations are?  Contrary to what some employees believe, Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) is not just the employer's responsibility. They have to concern themselves with WHS issues because it is the law.  A safe and healthy work environment provides the foundation for increased productivity and profitability levels. Prevention is the best way to deal with WHS issues.

This course is designed to be delivered organisation-wide to provide employees and employers with general knowledge of the legal requirements and basic principles and practices relating to WHS in the work environment.

Due to the compliance nature of this topic, a formal assessment is also included at the end of the course to test knowledge.  There are also examples and knowledge checks throughout the course.

As the course is not tailored to your particular circumstances, it should not be treated as legal advice.

  • Define your WHS responsibilities and obligation as worker in the work environment
