Practical Safety for Australian Workplaces
Handling cash is a routine task, but it carries real safety risks when systems, layouts, or behaviours are poorly managed. Theft, robbery, aggression, and stress are all foreseeable hazards that must be controlled in Australian workplaces.
Safe Cash Handling provides workers and supervisors with clear, practical guidance on how to handle cash safely and confidently. The course focuses on everyday retail, hospitality, and customer-facing environments where cash handling is part of the job.
Learners are shown how risks arise during cash handling tasks, what controls reduce the likelihood of incidents, and what to do if a situation escalates. The course reinforces that cash handling safety is about systems and procedures — not individual bravery or confrontation.
This training supports legal duties under Australian WHS laws to identify risks, implement controls, and protect workers from harm
