Day two covers the requirements for consultation in the workplace on work health and safety issues and the mechanisms available.
Day three of the course examines the consultative approach that can be used in resolving
workplace health and safety issues through negotiation and conflict resolution and the skills HSRs can utilise to achieve successful outcomes.
