Under Section 67 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004, elected Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) and Deputy HSRs (DHSRs) are entitled to attend a WorkSafe Victoria approved initial five day course upon election and a WorkSafe Victoria approved one day refresher every year thereafter. Under OHS legislation, employers must not obstruct or prevent Health and Safety Representatives from attending an approved course of their choice. The OHS Act 2004 states that employers are required to be provided with 14 days notice of attendance at an OHS course of training.
