As an employer, they will be held accountable by Worksafe if they choose not to refresh and something goes wrong. Worksafe will then complete an investigation and to see if the client took reasonably practicable steps to protect the workers from Harm. (Section 36 from the Act). As a PTE we have decided to implement the 3-month rule as industry practice to minimise the risk to clients and others when they come on a refresher course
The refresher period is three years set by the BPG on Page 43. (Section 36 from the Act)
"Operators need regular refresher training that covers the requirements in Section 6.1 and 6.2 of these guidelines. The length between training sessions should not exceed three years."
