Training records
Training records should be kept to assist a PCBU to check what training has been provided, what extra training is needed and to demonstrate compliance with WHS legislative requirements.
Training records may include training needs analysis documents, training plans, workers who have successfully completed training programs and the dates of completion, details of competency-based training completed, and copies of licences, certificates or other qualifications.

Review of training
Training should be reviewed and where necessary updated to reflect changes associated with the nature of hazards and risks, changes to work practices or risk control measures.
Reviewing training is important in stevedoring where the workforce may change frequently and may only be employed for short periods.

Supervision
In addition to ensuring workers receive appropriate training, adequate supervision must also be provided to ensure workers, including contractors, can carry out their tasks safely. Supervisors should have the information, training and authority to competently direct and control their team's work and ensure work is done safely.
The level of supervision will depend on the nature of the hazards and risks, the experience and competence of workers and the effectiveness of existing risk control measures. High-risk or complex activities may have greater supervision requirements.
New starters or others with special needs may require more direct supervision and ongoing instructions until they can demonstrate they have the skills to perform the work safely.

Licences
Some work activities, like dogging, rigging, the operation of reach stackers, forklifts and some types of cranes, require workers to hold a relevant high risk work licence under the WHS Regulations. The licence is issued by the regulator.

WHS Regulations

Regulation 85: A PCBU must not direct or allow a worker to carry out high risk work for which a licence is required unless the person sees written evidence provided by the worker that the worker has the
