Workplace Health & Safety Officer Registration Form

The WH&S Act 1995 requires that all workplaces with 30 or more workers (including regular visiting teachers and volunteers) have a trained Workplace Health & Safety Officer (WHSO).

Our workplace health and safety courses are all specifically designed for school staff. Staff attending will benefit from an Education Queensland presenter experienced in school WH&S issues, school-specific case studies and school relevant discussion.

The course fee is $850 for the WHSO Core Module and $340 for the Service Elective. Both modules, a total of 7 days, must be completed within a 6 month period to attain WHSO certification.

The WHSO Re-certification course fee is $410. Course duration is 3 days.

Fees are well below private industry levels and includes catering, course notes and resources.

The venue for the course with directions/map will be provided when bookings are finalised
Course times are 8.30am to 4.30pm - all participants are expected to attend the whole course
Please submit this form no later than 2 weeks before the course commences (late applications accepted space permitting).
