Frequently Asked Questions

Altius offers flexible delivery for WHS training programs across Australia, including in-person and online formats, small and large group sessions, and workshops ranging from one hour to full-day sessions. Training solutions are tailored to meet the specific needs of organisations.

Altius' Workplace Health & Safety training is delivered by industry experts, particularly experienced health professionals and psychologists. Their WHS programs are based on the latest evidence-based research, ensuring they provide engaging and effective learning experiences that promote both physical and psychological safety in the workplace.

Yes. Under Australia’s Model WHS Laws, employers have a legal duty to provide training that ensures workers can perform their jobs safely. Altius helps you meet these obligations with practical, customised WHS training.

All workers in Australia, including managers, contractors, and new employees, must receive WHS training relevant to their role. Altius tailors training content for each team to ensure compliance and clarity.

Workplace training needs are assessed through risk audits, incident data, worker consultation, and role-specific tasks. Our WHS consultants can help you conduct a thorough needs analysis and recommend targeted programs.

WHS training typically includes hazard identification, incident reporting, emergency procedures, manual handling, psychological safety, and legal responsibilities under the Work Health and Safety Act.

Safe Work Australia recommends refresher training annually or when there are changes in equipment, roles, or legislation. Some industries may require more frequent training.

Yes. Many WHS training programs, including Altius Group’s, offer online, self-paced, mental health education and awareness courses to suit remote and hybrid workplaces.

It ensures compliance with Australian WHS laws, reduces the risk of workplace injuries and illness, and supports a culture of safety and wellbeing.

Customised training ensures content is relevant, practical, and aligned to specific risks, roles, and compliance requirements—maximising impact and engagement. 

WHS training specifically focuses on educating employees about the legal requirements, regulations, and practices surrounding workplace health and safety under the Australian Work Health and Safety (WHS) Act. It includes topics such as risk management, hazard identification, emergency procedures, and compliance with workplace safety laws.

General workplace safety training, on the other hand, may cover broader topics related to maintaining a safe work environment, such as safe manual handling, fire safety, or first aid training. While these topics may be part of WHS training, general safety training does not always delve deeply into the legal framework, responsibilities, or risk assessments required by WHS standards.

In summary, WHS training is more comprehensive, with a focus on both physical and psychological health, compliance, and risk management as outlined by the legislation, whereas general safety training is typically more practical and task-focused.
Online WHS training can be just as effective as in-person training, depending on the delivery method and the nature of the content. Online training offers flexibility, allowing employees to learn at their own pace, which is ideal for businesses with remote teams or employees across different locations. It also allows for easy updates to training materials, ensuring that the latest regulations and best practices are covered.

However, in-person training can provide more interactive and engaging experiences, especially when it comes to hands-on skills or scenarios where team participation is crucial. It allows for immediate feedback from trainers and real-time discussions on specific workplace concerns.
