Task 2: Assess and report on OHS issues in the workplace
 Task 2 |
I believe it’s imperative that everyone on our team knows what to do when they think there is an OHS problem — how to assess it and to whom they should report it. In this way, all team members can be confident that their input is contributing to a safe and healthy unit. |
Your coach, Fiona Robertson, Team Leader at Waratah Credit Union |
