Hazard reporting in the workplace (AU)

Duration: 28 minutes

Overview: This course introduces the main types of workplace hazards (including physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, psychosocial, and safety hazards) and shows workers how to recognise them before they cause harm. It covers what a good hazard report includes, what happens after a report is submitted, and why consistent reporting drives real improvements in workplace safety.

Why is this course important? Most serious workplace incidents are preceded by a hazard that went unreported, sometimes for months. Reporting hazards early and well is one of the most effective ways workers can prevent injuries, near misses, and larger safety failures before they happen.

Suitable for: Workers across any industry or role who have a responsibility to identify and report workplace hazards and assumes no prior formal training in hazard identification or WHS. It provides introductory guidance only and can't be relied on as your sole source of training on hazard identification and reporting. Learners must complete site-specific training and follow their organisation's procedures before performing related tasks.

Online Assessment: None
