Workplace Health and Safety (Available after 23/03/2020)
This course aims to introduce you to the important role played by a property practitioner across a broad spectrum of work. It is a must in addressing personal health and safety, as well as impacting health and safety issues on clients, customers and other staff.
The course also introduces you to the new approved code of practice under section 274 of the Work Health and Safety Act (the WHS Act) and is critically important to the role of managing work and health and safety risks of premises and estates.
The WHS Act and Regulations require persons who have a duty to ensure health and safety to ‘manage risks' by eliminating health and safety risks so far as is reasonably practicable. The course book will cover the trade related issues and the risk management approach used, to give delegates the confidence they need in tackling safety, theft and security issues quickly, efficiently and economically.
