Principals OHS eLearning Update
Welcome to the OHS eLearning Update page. This page is designed to provide Principals and
Management OHS Nominees with specific advice and assistance on the OHS eLearning program.
The Employee Safety and Wellbeing Branch will update this page when required to ensure the
latest information is available. For the 2015, Term 3 OHS eLearning program Principals are asked
to:

Notify all employees that they were required to complete their assigned OHS eLearning
modules by 30 June 2015.

Contact employees with the relevant specialist roles notifying them that they were required to
enrol and complete specialist eLearning modules by 30 June 2015.

Enrol and complete the specialist eLearning modules (if applicable to the risk profile of the
school). For example Principals in secondary schools offering Materials Technology should
complete the Technology Safety eLearning module.

Utilise the OHS Management System OHS Training Planner/Register to plan and record
completed eLearning modules. Assistance with the OHS Training Planner/Register is
available by contacting the OHS Advisory Service (see contact details below).

Cite certificates from employees that have completed their assigned eLearning modules.
This is currently the preferred way pending further upgrades to the Learning Management
System.
