Workplace Safety in the Care Sector
$20.00 (inc GST)
Care and support work can look very different depending on where you work – such as aged care, disability support, hospitals, childcare or home and community care. No matter the setting, everyone has the right to be safe at work.
Workers can be injured or harmed when hazards are not identified early, safety systems fail, work processes break down, or people don’t feel confident to speak up.
This course focuses on practical ways to meet work health and safety responsibilities. You will learn how to spot hazards, take steps to reduce risks, and speak up or report concerns when something at work isn’t safe.
Safer work leads to safer care, and your safety matters.
At the end of this course, you should be able to:
- identify your WHS (Work Health & Safety) rights and responsibilities
- identify common physical and psychosocial hazards
- apply basic risk assessment and management principles
- report WHS concerns confidently
- use SafeWork NSW tools and resources.
Duration: 2-3 hours
Delivery: Online (self-paced)
Access period: 6 months access from the day of enrolment
Proudly developed in collaboration with SafeWork NSW.
