Introduction

Our Health and Safety Representative course has been approved by the Minister of Labour under Section 19G of the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992. 

Land Based Training is also Nationally Accredited by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) under the provisions of the Education Act 1989 to provide education and training as a Private Training Enterprise (PTE).  

In that role we provide health and safety related training for both the New Zealand Industry Training Organisation (NZITO) and the Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation (BCITO).

How is the Course delivered?

This course has been design to be provided over a period of two consecutive days. We anticipate that for the majority of participants attending, this may be their first introduction to health and safety and consequently the course structure is designed to be informative, we use PowerPoint with plenty of real life examples and group learning exercises. This ensures that the learning outcomes are both comprehensive and enjoyable but not overly extensive in its nature. The students are issued as part of the course material, a comprehensive guideline document to keep on their role as a Health and Safety Representative that can be referred to in the future and for the assessment exercises.
