Worker representation can benefit a business and workers in many different ways by:
- providing a clear, well known way for workers to raise issues and suggest improvements to health and safety at work
- providing a voice for workers who might not otherwise speak up about health and safety matters
- providing a link between workers and management
- helping in situations where it’s not practical for the business to engage one-to-one with its entire workforce
- providing a different perspective on the business’ day to day processes.
Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs)
Any business can choose to have an HSR. They are a well-established way to support worker participation and can also help with worker engagement.
