WorkSafe HSR Podcast
WorkSafe Victoria is proud to launch the HSR Podcast series. Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) are an integral part of the health and safety process of Victorian workplaces, and WorkSafe’s role as regulator means that we are here to help and support HSRs in being our eyes and ears on the ground. To further enhance the support WorkSafe already provides and to add to the enormous amount of resources we already have available, this podcast series will look at a range of topics and offer advice, guidance and support from WorkSafe’s very own experts and leaders in OHS for HSRs, employers and employees.
