This one-day course is designed for Site Executives, senior managers, operational leaders and WHS professionals who lead, oversee or provide specialist guidance on workplace health and safety risk management. It combines nationally recognised training with practical, workplace-focused activities that build the capability to make informed risk decisions and guide others through the risk management process.

This is not a sit-and-listen course. Through facilitated discussion, realistic workplace scenarios and collaborative problem-solving, students apply BSBWHS513 to identifying risk management requirements, leading risk assessment, selecting and implementing controls, and evaluating the effectiveness of the overall process.

The course connects the unit requirements to the complex situations encountered by Site Executives and senior operational personnel, helping students strengthen their ability to lead and influence WHS risk management within their area of responsibility.
