Training is a critical component in ensuring compliance with Work Health and Safety (WHS) laws, which are designed to create safe and healthy work environments. Effective training aligns with WHS requirements by addressing various hazards and promoting awareness across multiple areas. This includes specialized programs such as construction-accredited training, mental health and behavioral sessions, cultural awareness, and fundamental toolbox talks. These training programs are essential to meet WHS obligations and ensure a well-rounded approach to safety.

Join our expert panelists: Joel Thompson from Yakka Training, Peter Woodhall from Warali Wali Aboriginal Corp, Taylor-Jayne Sheppard, a behavioral specialist, and Alisi Tutuila from Batjigay Solutions, a cultural training expert, as they discuss the vital role training plays in WHS compliance. While many associate WHS training with physical safety, such as plant operations or a Certificate III in trades, it is equally important to include mental health and cultural education in the training mix. These diverse training approaches support a holistic implementation of WHS laws, ensuring that all aspects of workplace safety are covered.
