Why this course
Training that actually means something.
Practical legal context
Build awareness of duties under the model WHS framework and how they apply in day-to-day work.
Real-world relevance
Understand how safety duties, risk controls, and reporting systems actually work in practice.
Designed by experts
Lead author Paul Chivers identified a significant gap — the majority of businesses have no basic understanding of their WHS obligations.
Foundational learning
Non-accredited awareness training that can provide a practical foundation before further formal WHS study.
Quick and impactful
4 short modules. 15 minutes each.
Listen on the move
One tap plays the narrated course continuously through every module, with saved progress and phone or vehicle controls. Module questions and the practical exercise are still required for certification.
Documented completion
The certificate records that the learner completed the course requirements. It can form one part of a broader WHS learning and assurance system.
Content you can trust
Updated every 12 months with refreshed scenarios, legislation updates, and rotated quiz questions.
Consistent with ISO 31000
The practical risk process is designed to be consistent with widely used ISO 31000 risk management principles.
Jurisdiction note: The course is designed around the model WHS laws adopted across most Australian jurisdictions. Local requirements can differ, including Victoria’s Occupational Health and Safety legislation. Learners should confirm the laws that apply to their workplace.
Current learning experience
One tap. Every module in order.
Listen Mode saves your place and continues through all four modules. Listening does not bypass assessment: all module questions and the practical workplace risk assessment must still be completed before the certificate is issued. After completion, every module is available for replay with 15-second rewind and fast-forward controls.
