Orana E-Learning
Short, practical online courses in work health and safety, psychosocial risk and compliance. Work through one at your own pace, and we’ll email you a certificate when you finish.
Asbestos Awareness
For anyone whose work might bring them near asbestos. What it is and where it hides, what it does to the lungs and why the damage shows up decades later, how to check the register before you start, the things that must never be done to an asbestos material and what to do in the first minutes if you disturb one.
Critical Control Owner
For anyone appointed to own a critical control. What separates a control from the activities that support or check it, how to write a performance standard you could actually test, what verification has to produce and what to do the day you find your control is not performing.
Crystalline Silica Awareness
For anyone who cuts, grinds, drills or breaks stone, concrete, brick or tile. What respirable crystalline silica is, which materials carry the most, why the disease can arrive in years rather than decades, what the engineered stone prohibition does and does not cover, and which controls genuinely work.
Diesel Particulate Matter
For anyone who works around diesel engines in an enclosed or poorly ventilated space. What diesel particulate matter is, why it reaches the deep lung, what the evidence says about cancer risk, how it is measured when there is no legislated standard and the controls that genuinely reduce exposure.
Fatigue and Shift Work
For anyone who works shifts or designs them. What actually causes fatigue, why it impairs people in ways they cannot detect in themselves, what it does to health over years and the roster and workload controls that reduce it. Includes the drive home, which is where a great deal of the harm happens.
HSR Powers and Functions for Leaders
A plain explanation for managers and business leaders of what a health and safety representative is entitled to do, what they are not and what you are legally required to provide. Covers cease-work directions, provisional improvement notices, training, information access and the discrimination trap.
Industrial Manslaughter and Officer Due Diligence
For directors, executives and anyone who makes decisions affecting a substantial part of a business. What the industrial manslaughter offences require, who can be charged, how they differ from a Category 1 offence and what officer due diligence looks like in evidence rather than on paper.
Introduction to Risk Management
What risk actually means, the process every standard shares, how to find and evaluate risk, the hierarchy of control and what makes a control critical. Built on ISO 31000 with ICMM critical control management for high-consequence industries.
Management of Change
Most serious incidents follow a change. What counts as a change, why temporary ones are the most dangerous, how to work out which existing controls a change has quietly invalidated, who should approve what and why the post-implementation review is the step everybody skips.
Psychosocial Hazard Awareness
What psychosocial hazards actually are, how they cause harm, what they look like day to day and what to do when you notice one. Built on ISO 45003 and relevant wherever you work.
Psychosocial Hazards for Leaders
The companion to the awareness course, for the people who decide how work is designed and resourced. How to find psychosocial risk in data you already have, assess it without turning it into a question about individuals, choose controls that change the work rather than ask people to endure it and consult a workforce properly.
Responding to a Bullying Complaint
For managers and supervisors. What to do in the first ten minutes, why the duty starts the moment you know, how to protect someone without disadvantaging them, what procedural fairness actually requires and what to do when a complaint is not substantiated.
Risk Owner
For anyone named as the owner of a material risk. What the accountability actually requires, how to know your risk well enough to own it, how to assign and respond to critical control verification, when to escalate rather than accept, and what to do when you have been given the accountability without the authority.
Section 29 for Councillors
Elected members are excluded from the officer duty under the WHS Act, but owe a duty under section 29 as other persons at the workplace. What that requires in chamber debate, constituent contact and public commentary.
Sexual Harassment and Bullying at Work
What sexual harassment, sex-based harassment and a hostile work environment actually are, how bullying differs and what the positive duty introduced by Respect@Work requires an organisation to do before anyone complains. Covers the routes available if it happens to you and what to do if someone tells you.
Supervising Young Workers
For supervisors, leading hands and anyone with a young or inexperienced worker in their crew. What the law requires, the age limits that are genuinely hard, why supervision is a weaker control than it looks on paper and what to do in the first days so that a young worker will tell you when something is wrong.
The Right to Disconnect
The Fair Work right to refuse work contact outside working hours. What the right covers, when refusing would be unreasonable, what it means for anyone who sends the message and why availability creep is a psychosocial hazard rather than a personality trait.
WHS Duty Holders
Who holds a work health and safety duty in Australia and what each one actually requires: the PCBU primary duty, officer due diligence, worker duties and the designers and suppliers upstream. Covers what 'so far as is reasonably practicable' means and why a contract cannot move a duty.
Workplace Bullying Awareness
The legal test for bullying at work, why reasonable management action is not bullying, how bullying differs from harassment and discrimination, and what to do if it is happening to you or you can see it happening to someone else.
