HSR Training & More — Delivered by People Who've Lived It.
SafeWork NSW approved HSR training organisation — every session draws on 30+ years of real-world WHS experience.
Every session we run is anchored in real incidents, real workplaces and real regulatory experience. We deliver practical workplace health and safety training that participants can apply from day one — not just listen to slides.
All health and safety training is delivered on-site at your workplace or at an agreed venue across NSW. Contact us for available dates and a written proposal.

"Scutt Group Solutions delivered our HSR initial training with a level of practical knowledge you simply can't get from a classroom-only provider. Our HSRs walked away genuinely confident in their role and their legal powers."
