Enhancing Safety and Care: Why Work Health and Safety (WHS) Training Matters
Why WHS Training Is Essential
In the aged care and disability sectors, Work Health and Safety (WHS) isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s a commitment to protecting both workers and participants. Every support worker plays a role in creating a safe environment, and WHS training ensures you know how to identify risks, prevent injuries, and respond effectively to emergencies.
Whether you’re working in residential care, community settings, or participant homes, understanding WHS principles helps reduce accidents and promotes confidence in your daily work.
What You’ll Learn in WHS Training
A comprehensive Work Health and Safety and Environmental Management course covers:
Hazard identification and risk assessment
Safe manual handling techniques
Emergency response and evacuation procedures
Using PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) correctly
Environmental safety and waste management best practices
These skills prepare you to prevent workplace injuries and contribute to a culture of safety and accountability.
