Activities and Tests

South Australia has new work health and safety laws. While this information remains relevant, the references to legislation may not be current.

Web-based activities and tests offer a convenient alternative to expensive classroom Work Health and Safety (WHS) training. These tests offer your students many advantages:

• available from the Internet
• visually-based for easy learning
• can be scheduled at any time.

Some tests also offer a Certificate of Achievement available from a desktop printer.
