To apply for ACC Workplace Safety Discounts you need to show you have relevant experience in managing health and safety. In most cases this will mean attending a training course. But, if you have relevant health and safety system management experience then you may be able to show that you have appropriate prior experience.
What counts as appropriate experience?
Appropriate experience must include at least 12 months of experience in implementing health and safety procedures relevant to the current workplace and industry, including:
- identifying and managing hazards
- investigating incidents
- training employees (as applicable)
- emergency response procedures.
Even if you have health and safety management experience, it might be a good idea to attend training to keep your skills up-to-date and relevant to your industry. You’ll find training information on each industry page.
