“Explains how courts can order health and safety training for workplace offences”

If you do something wrong related to health and safety at work, a court might tell you to do some training. The court can order you to take a specific training course. They can also tell you to make sure one or more of your workers take the course. This is called a training order. The court decides what kind of training you or your workers need to do.
