OHS Consultation
The Occupational Health & Safety Act 2004 enables the election of Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) as well as outlining the role of the HSR in the workplace. HSRs are elected by employees in their designated workgroups to act on their behalf on health and safety matters. Under the Act more than one HSR can be elected per workgroup as well as deputy HSRs.
The HSR role should not be confused with the OHS management nominee who is normally a member of the management team with delegated responsibilities to manage the local workplace OHS management system and implement OHS management systems after consultation with HSRs and employees.
