Respect@Work Training Course

Workplace sexual harassment is prevalent and pervasive: it occurs in every industry, in every location and at every level, in Australian workplaces.

The Respect@Work training module is designed to provide you with an understanding of what conduct constitutes sexual and gender-based harassment in the workplace.

Everyone has a role to play in preventing sexual harassment in the workplace. Safetrac’s Respect@Work training course will prepare learners with strategies to intervene when they see something that is not right, and address barriers that may be stopping action.
