WHS Essentials

Supervisor guiding a new worker through a safety induction in a warehouse.

About

Starting a new job brings new tasks, unfamiliar equipment and different workplace risks. Knowing what to look for—and what to do when something is unsafe—helps you protect yourself and the people around you. WHS Essentials provides a practical introduction to workplace health and safety in Australia. You’ll explore WHS/OHS responsibilities, how to recognise hazards and control risks, safe work practices, personal protective equipment (PPE), emergency procedures, and reporting hazards, incidents and near misses. The course also covers psychosocial hazards, respectful behaviour and the safety actions to take before starting work. Workplace examples, interactive activities and a final Knowledge Assessment help you apply what you learn to everyday situations. Whether you’re starting your first job, joining a new workplace or refreshing your safety knowledge, this course gives you a foundation to build on through your workplace induction and task-specific training.
