Work Health and Safety Training Courses in Darwin

Asbestos Awareness Safety WHS Training

Asbestos was banned in Australia in 2003. However, it remains a threat and is still found in homes and businesses. Learn to stay safe with our nationally recognised asbestos awareness training. Our course instructs you on how to identify asbestos and asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).

Confined Spaces Training

If your job involves entering an enclosed or partially enclosed space, you may need to complete confined spaces training. Pipelines, vaults, manholes, and other confined spaces create additional risks due to atmospheric conditions. Minimise these risks with our one-day program.

Health and Safety Representative (HSR) Training

The Work Health and Safety Act gives employees the right to elect a worker to represent them in health and safety matters.

According to NT Worksafe, the elected worker must complete the health and safety representative (HSR) training to exercise the powers of an HSR. After completing the course, the HSR has the right to direct work to stop and issue provisional improvement notifications. More on HSR Training here.
