COR and Load Restraint Training
What a session!!
Peter, thank you for being too the point and not beating around the bush (it is exactly what they needed to hear). The session was fantastic, generated lots of general constructive discussion on this topic. The depot walk was great, shows us how careless we can be without thinking we are. Great tips on what to do and how we can best plan for our future and what we can improve on with our restraint processes.
Long term helpful information
I did the HSR Training with ParagonWHS. Peter is an amazing instructor and due to his teaching it has not only helped me in my previous role where I was the Health and Safety Rep, but in my new role with a new company. I have been able to utilise what Peter taught me in providing WH&S feedback and helping current company in making improvements and notice WH&S risks I may have otherwise missed.
Highly recommend this training.
Excellent Level 3 HSR training course
2 day HSR training course with Peter at Paragon WHS and found this session a lot more engaging and informative than my first 2 years of HSR training with another provider.
Refresher course just what I needed
Attended a 1-Day HSR refresher course with Peter and appreciated every aspect of the presentation. It helped blow the cobwebs off a few things I hadn’t used or referred to in a while and left me feeling more confident in my role as I head back to the workplace. Appreciated the engaging, semi-formal nature of the presentation which allowed the participants opportunities to discuss relevant situations and pertinent issues. Good resources too and the lunch was a bonus. Definitely recommended.
Excellent HSR training course
I just completed my Year 3 , 2 day HSR training course with Peter at Paragon WHS, and found this session alot more engaging and informative than my first 2 years of HSR training with another provider.
Peter uses alot of relevant examples and provides valuable feedback during group discussions on current workplace issues, which helps you understand your WHS obligations as a HSR.
I would certainly recommend Paragon for any HSR training.
Thanks again Peter!
