As a part of the new national workplace health and safety harmonisation, Stirling Hinchliffe the Employment, Skills and Mining Minister announced that TAFE Queensland will introduce new health and safety resources for it's teachers and apprentices. One of these resources was the 'TAFE Take 5' booklet.

Pertrain worked with the Queensland VET Development Centre to rebrand the Pertrain TAKE 5 booklet which will help apprentices identify workplace health and safety issues.

Every TAFE Queensland apprentice (around 30,000 in total) will receive the 'TAFE Take 5' booklet, to be used as a 'takeaway' from the classroom to real life situations, assisting them in assessing potential hazards on the job.

After listening to the feedback from our clients the generic TAKE 5/ HAZOB risk assessment booklet has been revamped and reordered and will be available for sale mid November.

The Take 5 booklet ensures that you stop and think about what you are going to do before you commence work.  It includes a series of targeted questions to help you to:

• identify potential hazards that could impact you, your workmates, the environment and/or equipment while you are performing your work
• assess the hazards to determine the level of control that is required
• apply controls to manage the risk.

These booklets can be purchased as they are direct from our website or they can be customised to suit your specific requirements. For more information call Pertrain on 07 5445 2233.
