HSR Refresher ACT
Health and Safety Representatives are entitled to complete the 1-day refresher training each year for the duration of their tenure provided they completed the initial 5 Day HSR course
This refresher training will update you on your knowledge and skills of workplace health and safety. The role of a HSR is to represent the workers of their work group on safety matters.
