HSE Course for Safety Representatives

Environment, health and safety is about creating a safe and healthy workplace. It is the manager who has the primary responsibility to ensure that this happens. The working environment act, section 3-5, requires the employer to undergo training in health, environment and safety (HSE). The duty of education applies to leaders. It says in section 3-5 (2) that “the Ministry may in regulations provide more detailed requirements for the training.” Such regulations do not exist, but the labour Inspection authority (Arbeidstilsynet) has prepared a guidance on what should be included in the training. This course is based on this guide. The courses are always up to date.
