Health and safety representatives
A safe workplace is more easily achieved when everyone talks openly about work health and safety issues and concerns, help identify hazards and risks and works together to find solutions.
HSRs provide a crucial link between PCBUs and the workers they represent in identifying issues, finding workable solutions and ensuring a safe workplace for everyone.
What is an HSR?
Health and safety representatives are elected by groups of workers (called work groups) to represent them and act on their behalf.
- They contribute to positive health and safety outcomes by supporting communication and consultation in the workplace.
- They bring WHS issues to the attention of the PCBU.
- Their powers and functions are defined under the WHS Act.
