represented in relation to health and safety matters. An HSR is the
vital link in the communication process between the employees and the
employer in relation to occupational health and safety. An HSR
represents the employees in their Designated Work Group (DWG) by
raising, monitoring and resolving OHS matters with their employer. The
key factor to remember is that an elected HSR represents the interests
of the employees. It is not an appointed position and does not have
any associated responsibility for meeting the health and safety
obligations of the employer. What are my transportation/parking
