OHS Act Essentials for Supervisors

Supervisors are where health and safety law meets real work. The Occupational Health and Safety Act places duties on employers, but those duties are carried out through people who plan the work, brief the team and stop unsafe acts. This short course gives you the legal essentials and the practical routines to supervise safely and with confidence.
