ABOUT THE ELECTED HSR
Employees are entitled to be 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.
