Training for workplace health and safety
representatives
The New Zealand Council of Trade
Unions knows that high quality, worker-centric health and
safety representative training programmes are a key to safer
work under the new Health and Safety at Work Act. The new
Act comes into force today and heralds some significant
improvements in the health and safety space – including
new powers for Health and Safety Reps (HSRs).
The CTU’s WorksafeReps HSR programme is the largest representative training provider in the country – having trained more than 30,000 HSRs since 2003. “Under the new law it’s vital that HSRs get the right training that will give them the skills, knowledge and confidence to be effective at work,” says Sam Huggard, CTU Secretary.
“The WorksafeReps programme is proven to be high-quality and worker-centric. It gives the representatives confidence to be able to create systems that result in safer workplaces, Huggard said.
