With statistics alarming as they are, it is obvious why WHS roles are so important to Australia; especially if we are to meet the national target of reducing:
• incidence of serious injury by at least 30% nationwide by 2022
• number of work-related fatalities due to injury by at least 20%.
WHS roles provide a broad range of technical knowledge and skills and these apply to those working as supervisors, WHS personnel, and workers in other WHS-related roles who manage risks effectively, apply relevant WHS laws, and contribute to WHS within the workplace.
