30523QLD Course in Recertification to Function as a Workplace Health and Safety Officer
This 14 hour course has been developed to meet Workplace Health and Safety statutory requirements for providing on going training, required every 5 years after completing the original Course in functioning as a Workplace Health and Safety Officer.
To be eligible to apply for a certificate of authority of appointment of a workplace health and safety officer, the learner must have achieved competency in the WHSO Recertification unit of competence, including completion of a Workplace Health and Safety Assessment and Action Plan. The Workplace Health and Safety Assessment and Action Plan must be completed and submitted within a reasonable time negotiated between the trainer and learner (this period must not exceed 8 weeks).
On successful completion of this course, learners can then apply for re-appointment as workplace health and safety officers with the Queensland Government. The course enables the learners to update competencies of current legislation requirements and workplace health and safety practices enabling the workplace health and safety officer to establish or monitor existing appropriate educational programs and undertake current consultative, advisory, investigative and reporting functions.
