The HSR Conference Registrations are open for the WorkSafe HSR Conference on 30 October 2018, sign-in commences 8.00am with Conference kicking off at 9.00am. This is a WorkSafe authorised training day that sits separately to the 5 day Course and the 1 day refresher.
This year’s Conference is based around Section 58 of the OH&S Act – Powers of Health & Safety Representatives.
The Morwell venue is listed as Foyer Conference Room 5N158, Level 1 Building 5N, Federation University, Churchill.
To register for Morwell HSRs need to go to
http://www.weareohs.org.au/
Click on the big Section 58 sign, it will take you to HSR Conference page. Click on “START “and follow the prompts. When registering we would suggest that you click the “Certificate of Attendance” letter option to prove that you went.
Once you have registered you will be able to access downloads, the Section 69 Approval and Employer Notification Form. Although Employers can waive the 14 day notice period it’s best to play safe and give the Notification Form to your Shift Manager, Foreman etc., at least 14 days prior to 30 October, i.e. by 15 October.
Employers are obliged to release and pay elected HSRs who wish to attend the Conference, it is at their discretion as to whether Deputy HSRs are released or not. Section 69 provides for those who attend to be paid as if at work.
Generally speaking my message to HSRs, Deputy HSRs is that if each individual can bring back one (1) learning from the Conference and relay that to OH&S Committees and in some cases the broader working groups, perhaps by toolboxes etc. It is a Win-Win for everyone.
