As part of this project WorkSafe Victoria is running a free Health and Safety Month event focused specifically on strengthening HSRs’ skills and confidence in resolving workplace safety issues. The session will cover HSR powers, consultation requirements, legal obligations and issue resolution, with a particular focus on common manufacturing hazards including plant guarding and mobile plant.
