CANCELLED: March 27 Conference on Working hours, shifts and fatigue conference

The ANMF has announced:

"It is with sincere regret, due to the current concerns regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19) we have made the decision to cancel our WHSF conference 27 March 2020. We currently have in excess of 200 attendees registered and given it is a full day conference where attendees would be in the conference centre in close proximity to each other, under the current circumstances it is not ideal and contrary to advice from government health experts.

We hope to be able to reschedule this conference again later in the year once things settle but at this stage we have yet to confirm a future date. We will reach out to you once we have a new date and hope that you will be able to attend at this new time. We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience caused."

BE TRADES HALL TRAINED: VTHC OHS Training Centre 

Note: at the moment all planned VTHC training will go ahead. We are taking a number of measures to ensure that any risks are minimised. All courses have fewer than 20 participants, and are being held in venues which allow for separation of participants. If you have any queries or concerns, please contact Lisa Mott on 03 9659 3511 

Make sure you attend training provided either by your union or the VTHC! HSRs are elected by their fellow workers to represent them. We understand what HSRs need and have been training effective HSRs for many years. Remember that under Section 67 of the OHS Act, both HSRs and deputies have the right to attend the training course of their choice (in consultation with their employer).

The VTHC OHS Unit runs courses in a number of new locations to cater for HSRs in the outer suburbs of Melbourne. This is in addition to courses in our usual locations. If you have any questions on the registration process or the courses themselves, send an email to Lisa Mott (or call her on 03 9659 3511).

It's the start of a new year, and so all HSRs should be thinking about registering for their annual one-day refresher course.
You can now register and pay directly from the site here.
