That always makes the difference, much better than someone who just stands up the front of the room reading from the book, a cassette deck could do that. Just imagine what a CD could do!

OH&S is kinda one of those things you have to be interested in, cause it ain't going away, so it help if you have a genuine interest. Good luck with the cert 3 and 4.

I bet you were the class floozy too. Pigtails and as aerosmith said with a skirt ridin high up the knee.

May be coming through your way second week of school holidays, will try and call in if timing is right.

Tight King-Gee (non-faded) short tight blue work pants I bet also!

Steady on! I just ate!

YOU GUYS ARE SICK!!!!!

The first 2 days of law was a real brain melter,last 3 were excelent.
Well worth doing the course,great presenter that really helped.
The course was half the Cert3 in Occ Health and Safety so Ive put my hand up to get the cert3.
Will look into cert4 later and beyond.
Applying it to the workforce will be REAL interesting,we have an excellent crew but there are alot of entrenched bad practices to fix.

Occ Health & Safety read bosses/companies butt covering to put the blame back on the worker

I actually found it the opposite when I was safety rep as you are elected by the workers as a statuatory requirment (for us under the mines regs/act).
Most employers would rather not have them.
There are a few that use it as a leg up and take thecompany line, but this is not what the role is intended for.
You actually end up with both your employer and workmates of side at times as neither can usually be objective. I had several run ins with management.
You shpuld only take on this role if you are serious about safety.

My mature wife has just made a career change to truck driving, she drives & handles the truck no worries. She is all but clueless re loading/unloading & securing the load. When she started with the national Co they were aware she had no experience, said they would teach her, HA HA! Now she has started the lesson is "You'll be right"
This Co has all the safety signs plastered everywhere, just lip service?
