Men’s Sheds of WA is excited to offer this new Shed Supervisor Workshop for two members of each Men’s Shed to participate in.

This workshop will provide you with strategies for teaching safe techniques in your shed, and the skills to supervise multiple members using the workshop.

Through these workshops we hope to encourage Shedders to be safer on the roads;  when you’re driving tired, you can drift in and out of sleep without knowing it. For more information please click here.
