MANDATORY TRAINING
Basic HSE course for safety representatives, managers and AMU members
The Working Environment Act requires training for all safety representatives, all managers with personnel responsibility and all members of the Working Environment Committee (AMU). Not just some of them.
Our courses meet the requirements for the 40-hour HSE course, are adapted to nine industries, and can be taken as e-learning at your own pace or as a classroom course for the whole department. We have delivered this training together with HMS Norge for 20 years.
- Meets the requirements for the “40-hour HSE course”
- E-learning or classroom
- Start whenever you like
WHO NEEDS THE COURSE
Three roles, three requirements
01 / SAFETY REPRESENTATIVE COURSE
Safety representatives
Few people apply for the role. Most are asked. The course gives you the mandate, the tools and the language you need to speak up in a way that gets heard.
02 / HSE COURSE FOR MANAGERS
Managers with personnel responsibility
Mandatory for everyone with personnel responsibility, including the managing director. It is as much about how you use HSE to run a better business as it is about what the law requires.
03 / AMU COURSE
AMU members
The Working Environment Committee has real power, and its members often know little about what they can actually decide. The course covers duties, procedures and responsibilities.
WHAT YOU GET
A course people actually get through
Mandatory doesn’t have to mean boring. The courses are interactive, split into short modules and written for people starting from scratch.
INDUSTRY
Adapted to your workplace
The risks at a cleaning company are nothing like the risks on a building site. The courses come in separate versions for offices, retail, building, civil engineering, cleaning, hotels and restaurants, transport, and health and social care.
FORMAT
E-learning or classroom
Take the course on your own, whenever it suits you, or bring the whole department together for a day with an instructor. The content is the same, and both meet the legal requirement.
CONTENT
Tasks and quizzes along the way
You meet four characters throughout the course: Vera the safety representative, Lena the manager, Amund the AMU member and Anja the employee. You learn from their situations, not from a list of legal clauses.
SCOPE
Meets the 40-hour requirement
The courses cover all the requirements for what is known as the 40-hour HSE course, so your documentation is in order when the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority (Arbeidstilsynet) asks.
PACE
Start whenever you like
There are no fixed start dates for the e-learning. Begin today, do one module a week, or complete it all in two days. You pick up where you left off.
AFTERWARDS
Support and follow-up
You are not on your own after the course. We answer questions along the way and run webinars on topics that come up in everyday working life.
20 years with HMS Norge
We have run this course for longer than most
For the past 20 years, we have worked with HMS Norge to deliver mandatory training through e-learning, classroom courses, conferences, webinars and support.
The new e-learning courses have been rebuilt from the ground up. Shorter modules, more interactivity, and language that doesn’t assume you already know the Working Environment Act.
- No prior knowledge required
- Documentation ready for Arbeidstilsynet
- A combined overview if you are booking for several people
- Norwegian content, Norwegian regulations
The problem
Most organisations find a gap when they count
The safety representative has done the course. So has the manager who was hired five years ago. But what about the team leader who took on personnel responsibility this spring, or the new AMU member?
Missing training is one of the most common non-conformities Arbeidstilsynet finds. It is also one of the easiest to put right.
WE FIND THE ANSWER
Who in your organisation needs the course?
The Working Environment Act covers more people than you might think:
- All elected safety representatives
- The managing director
- All middle managers with personnel responsibility
- All members of the Working Environment Committee
- People new to the role, even mid-year
Frequently asked questions
What people want to know before signing up
It is a well-established term for basic working environment training. The name comes from an earlier recommendation on how long the training should be. Today, the requirement is about the content, not about sitting through exactly 40 hours. Our courses cover all the requirements.
Yes. The HSE training requirement for the most senior manager applies no matter how many employees you have, and it cannot be delegated.
