FREE WHS Act Training - 2024
WA is now in the second year of our WHS Act - is your workplace compliant?
In 2024 UnionsWA is continuing to host Work Health and Safety Act online information sessions, funded by the WA Government, for the general public and to our union movement. WA Unions campaigned successfully for key changes to safety laws, and we must make sure that all workplaces are doing the right thing by all workers, as including visitors and volunteers to workplaces. RSVP via the links below!
Overview sessions will provide participants with an introduction to the new WHS legislation and what the changes mean to your workplace. You might have heard about new obligations for your employer to prevent psychosocial hazards in the workplace (mental health hazards). Codes of Practice Sessions explore these important changes to protect you from bullying, workload, trauma and many other psychosocial hazards.
