Risk Management for Managers Training Course (AUS Version)
$27.50 inc. GST
The Risk Management for Managers training course gives managers and supervisors a clear, practical understanding of workplace risk and their specific responsibilities in managing it. The course covers how to identify hazards, examines the legislation that applies to risk management, and walks through a structured four-step risk management process — supported by real workplace examples. Learners leave with the knowledge to assess risk accurately and take the right steps to protect their teams.
Designed for Australian workplaces, this course is built for managers and supervisors who need more than a general safety awareness — they need to understand their role and act on it. On completion, participants receive an instant digital certificate confirming their training.
This course will take approximately 69 minutes to complete.
Why is the Risk Management for Managers Training Important?
Workplace incidents don’t just happen — they follow from unmanaged risk. When managers don’t understand their role in the risk management process, hazards go unaddressed, safety systems break down, and the consequences fall on workers and organisations alike. Managers who are clear on their responsibilities are far better placed to stop incidents before they occur.
Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Cth) and equivalent state and territory legislation, persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) and their officers, managers, and supervisors have specific duties to identify and manage risks in the workplace. This includes consulting with workers, implementing controls, and reviewing those controls over time.
This course gives managers the knowledge to fulfil those duties — reducing risk exposure across their team and supporting a safer, more compliant workplace.
