I have the OH&S Act of 2004
It says that an employer must, if requested by H&S rep...allow the rep to attend the following courses:
a) an initial course of training in OH&S after being elected;
b) a refresher course at least once in each year, after completing the initial course of training that he or she holds office
I can't find anything about whether you are able to keep working as a Rep if you don't have the refresher course or how often the full training course needs to be completed.
He prob just needs to do a refresher, i think that is a 1 or 2 day thing.
You can get more info at ohsrep.org.au
