Work, Health and Safety Induction

Course Overview

An essential Workplace Health, Safety Induction – but made specifically for NDIS Workers. On-Demand and delivered in 45 minutes. Easy.

Why take this course?

We know, “WHS Induction” doesn’t exactly scream excitement. Yet the truth is, when workplace health and safety is done effectively, there are fewer incidents, and as a result, fewer injuries, illnesses and even deaths. And what workplace wouldn’t want that?

Our Work, Health and Safety Induction is an essential eLearning for anyone who works in the sector. It covers general WHS practices – like hazards, safety measures and incident reporting – with practical examples specific to the disability sector.

By the end, workers will be better equipped to face safety hazards, report incidents, and take care of themselves and others, and managers will get peace of mind that their workers have been briefed on the WHS essentials. It’s a win-win. 

What you’ll gain

Across 45 minutes, we’ll cover:

• The roles and responsibilities for keeping the workplace safe, including both what the WHS laws and NDIS Commission require

• Common hazards a worker may face (specific to the NDIS) and measures they can take to protect themselves and others

• How the ‘hierarchy of controls’ can be applied when supporting participants 

• The right to a safe workplace including freedom from bullying, harassment and discrimination

• What workers are required to do if they notice hazards, near misses, and incidents – and why
