Health and Safety Rep training

Learn how to keep yourself and your colleagues safe at work. Everybody deserves to be safe at work and it pays to know how to prevent accidents and promote behaviour that doesn’t risk workers’ safety. 

We provide Health & Safety Rep (HSR) training for members. HSR training is funded by your employer (to comply with legal obligations). If you’re a non-member you can also access our training for a fee.  Find out more!

Delegate Training – become a leader in your workplace!

Becoming a delegate is a great way to develop your communication, problem solving and negotiation skills. If you’re interested in becoming a delegate, you’ll be provided with plenty of training and support to help you become a confident and effective leader in your workplace.

Delegate training is open to UWU members only. To learn more and to register for training, visit our Delegate Training page

An HSR is a co-worker with special responsibility and training in workplace health and safety. All our Health and Safety courses are run specifically for HSRs. Workers can report risks to their HSR and it will be raised with employers to make workplaces safer for all. Interested? Learn More…
