Become a Health and Safety Representative Today
Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) play an important role in representing the health and safety interests of workers in a work group. Union workplaces are safer workplaces, thanks to the important work of union-trained HSRs. The union will always fight for better working conditions, and safer working environments. As an HSR, your contribution and leadership is vital.
The responsibilities of an HSR include:
Representing the health and rights of workers on work health and safety matters
Monitoring the work health and safety actions and policies undertaken by the employer
Investigating any work health and safety complaints from workers of the work group
Investigating complaints from workers relating to health and safety
Requesting to establish a Health and Safety Committee
Looking into anything that may pose a risk to the overall workplace health and safety of the workers they represent.
Creating work group(s) from which to elect health and safety representatives [HSRs] and Deputy HSRs has to be done according to the relevant laws. Make sure HSRs are elected and not appointed by management.
