Training & Recognition

ONLINE WORK HEALTH AND SAFETY TRAINING COURSES

The big change in health and safety happened in 2011 with the introduction of the Model Work Health and Safety Act. This was a move towards harmonisation of health and safety laws around the country. This has had good success but ultimately laws have not been harmonised 100% from state to state. Victoria and Western Australia are still operating under OHS Acts.

 

Our Work Health and Safety Act courses are award winning and delivered online for your workplace. The idea of the training is so that your staff whether they be officers of the business through to workers understand what their obligations are under the Work Health and Safety Act. The major difference now is that directors of the company can be personally responsible and be charged both on a civil and criminal basis for getting the management of health and safety wrong in the workplace. These courses are a first step to understanding what your obligations are when running a business, particularly if your industry has higher safety risks involved with the work.

Strategically designed to provide in-depth knowledge of work, health and safety (WHS), our courses equip you with legislative knowledge as well as management and compliance requirements in practical terms. You can also try the workers course for free right now to get a feel for what the course offers participants.

 

These courses help you meet your business obligations under the WHS Act, making it easier for you to comply with your duty of care requirements. No matter what your current role or circumstances are, AlertForce is here to assist you undertake the course without disruption to your schedule or routine. Since 2008, the AlertForce name has been renown for delivering the highest quality competency based training across broad industries, including most labour intensive industries. With no reason to wait, our online Courses can be delivered where ever required around the country or abroad.

Training can be extremely cost effective providing you have groups of approximately 4 or more.

“Did a CPR refresher. Reminded me of the things I'd missed or forgotten about. Got it done and got out. Highly recommend. Of the 10 or so of these I've done, this is the first that actually felt like a useful refresher and not just trying to stay awake to check the boxes.”


Chris Stewart

“The AlertForce course for Enter and Work in Confined Spaces was very comprehensive and informative. John is a very experienced worker and instructor, which enhanced the training experience for all of the class, he answered all our questions from both the health and safety, and legal perspective, and would also use his own real-world experiences to demonstrate the answers. Thank you AlertForce Team and John, I'll recommend your courses to anybody who's looking for training.”

Being the only female in the group I was nervous at first, but everyone was so friendly (I don't think I touched a door once today lol) and welcoming. The instructor (shout out to Craig) was really interesting and friendly and made the course really engaging, time flew by! I 100% recommend these guys and will be going back soon to complete my working at heights certification.”

Liam Shaw

10 Feb 2026 • 2:54 PM

“Excellent course, I'm saying this because unless like most courses that are just plain boring. This course was run By Matt who I think is a great educator, he explains information in a way that's not just educational but also relevant to today's work practices, his insight and depth of knowledge shows his years on both subjects like asbestos and silica and how dangerous both can be, I'm now armed with the knowledge of how to treat these hazards and also how to prevent a problem that can be eliminated, I definitely recommend this course for anybody who wants to learn about asbestos and silica.”

“I'm really satisfied with the way the class was lead simple and easy to remember for the questions on the theory test. I'm really grateful that I'm given another chance to do train and do the practical test again which I didn't pass on the first time. So that I'm prepared to use the forklift without making mistakes when I do get my licence as well as work using the forklift.”
