Building a Safer Workplace: Essential Resources for WHS Compliance

Achieving and maintaining compliance requires more than a one-time training session or a single document. To truly safeguard your team and business, you need a comprehensive approach that combines training, practical resources, and ongoing learning. So, how do you make sure your WHS program is robust enough to meet these challenges? By leveraging a variety of tools and resources that engage your employees at every stage.

Why a One-Size-Fits-All Approach to WHS Won’t Work

Relying on a single method to educate your workforce on WHS is risky. Every workplace is different, and each role within your business comes with unique hazards. A one-dimensional approach can leave significant gaps, leading to accidents, non-compliance fines, and lower employee morale. Instead, a multi-faceted program that delivers knowledge in different formats will ensure employees are not only aware of their responsibilities but empowered to act on them.

WHS compliance is an ongoing process that begins during candidate onboarding and continues throughout the employee's career. It involves continuous learning, reinforcement of best practices, and regular updates to keep up with WHS legislation. Here’s a guide to the must-have resources that can help you create a well-rounded WHS compliance program.

WHS eLearning Modules

As an HR manager or recruitment lead, you know how challenging it can be to ensure that every employee completes relevant, up-to-date WHS training. WorkPro’s eLearning modules offer an interactive, flexible solution that allows employees to complete training at their own pace—whether during onboarding or as part of their ongoing development. With modules covering everything from manual handling to workplace bullying, you can rest assured that each worker is trained on the specific hazards and safety protocols relevant to their role.

What’s more, we keep our content aligned with the latest legislative changes, so your WHS training stays relevant, compliant, and future-proof—without requiring constant oversight on your end.

Factsheets

For HR managers and recruitment leads, balancing compliance with day-to-day operations can be tricky. One of the most effective ways to equip employees with essential WHS knowledge is through easy-to-read factsheets.

Factsheets offer a quick and effective way to provide employees with essential WHS knowledge. Whether it’s detailing safety protocols for specific equipment or outlining new WHS regulations, factsheets serve as handy references that can be accessed anytime,

reducing the likelihood of errors or accidents.

Don’t think you need to create these yourself – WorkPro has a range of ready-made WHS factsheets helping you maintain compliance while saving valuable time. These resources aren’t just for employees—sharing them with compliance managers and other stakeholders ensures that everyone stays aligned with your WHS program.

Checklists

Checklists are another practical resource that can help HR teams and employees stay on top of safety tasks. From specific industry requirements for candidates to annual compliance training reminders for HR leaders, checklists reinforce routine safety practices. They provide clear steps to follow and can be an excellent tool for supervisors to ensure nothing is missed. If you’re looking for a place to start, check out WorkPro’s checklists to add to your WHS program.

eBooks

For a more in-depth exploration of WHS topics, eBooks offer a comprehensive look at the WHS policies and procedures, work health and safety regulations, and best practices that govern workplace safety. These resources can be used for onboarding new employees or as

part of continuous professional development. eBooks are a great way to understand the ‘why’ behind compliance, helping employees recognise the long-term value of adhering to safety protocols.
