Workplace Health & Safety eLearning Development

Why Custom WHS Training Matters

Workplace health and safety training isn’t just about ticking compliance boxes—it’s about keeping your team safe and creating a culture where safety is genuinely valued. Generic off-the-shelf WHS courses can’t address your specific workplace hazards, equipment, or procedures.

The Problem with Generic WHS Training

Most organizations start with generic WHS training because it’s quick and affordable. But there are significant limitations:

• Not workplace-specific: Generic courses can’t cover your specific equipment, processes, or site hazards
• Low engagement: Workers tune out content that doesn’t feel relevant to their actual job
• Compliance gaps: May not meet your specific industry regulations or organizational policies
• No local context: Often uses international examples that don’t reflect Australian standards

Benefits of Custom WHS Training

When you invest in custom WHS eLearning, you get training that:

1. Reflects Your Actual Workplace

   • Uses photos of your actual equipment and work areas
   • Addresses your specific hazards and control measures
   • Includes your emergency procedures and evacuation routes
   • References your actual PPE requirements

2. Meets Your Compliance Obligations

   • Covers relevant Australian WHS legislation
   • Addresses industry-specific regulations
   • Includes your organizational policies and procedures
   • Provides proper documentation for audits

3. Actually Engages Your Workers

   • Scenarios based on real workplace situations
   • Interactive decision-making activities
   • Relevant examples that resonate with your team
   • Practical tips they can apply immediately

4. Scales Across Your Organization

   • Consistent training for all sites
   • Easy to update when procedures change
   • Tracks completion and assessment results
   • Reduces time away from work (vs. classroom training)

Common WHS Training Topics We Develop

We’ve developed WHS courses covering:

• General WHS Inductions: Site-specific induction for new workers and contractors
• Hazard Identification: Teaching workers to spot and report hazards
• Manual Handling: Proper lifting techniques and ergonomic practices
• Chemical Safety: SDS management and hazardous substance handling
• Work at Heights: Fall prevention and working safely at elevation
• Confined Spaces: Entry procedures and atmospheric testing
• Emergency Response: Evacuation, first aid, and incident management
• PPE Training: Selection, use, and maintenance of protective equipment

Making WHS Training Effective

The most effective WHS training:

• Starts with real scenarios: “You’re about to start work and notice…”
• Makes consequences clear: Without being preachy or fear-mongering
• Provides practical solutions: Not just “don’t do this” but “here’s what to do instead”
• Tests understanding: With scenario-based assessments, not just knowledge recall
• Reinforces culture: Emphasizing that safety is everyone’s responsibility

Investment in Safety

Custom WHS training is an investment in your most valuable asset—your people. The cost of a WHS incident (injury, lost time, workers’ comp claims, reputational damage) far outweighs the cost of proper training.

At $5,500-$10,500 for a custom course, you’re getting professional training that:

• Reduces workplace incidents and near-misses
• Improves safety culture and worker engagement
• Provides defensible evidence of proper training for regulators
• Scales across your entire workforce without ongoing costs
