Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA), a business must support its workers in their role as Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs).

HSWA requires businesses to support HSRs by:

• Facilitating elections.
• Consulting with the HSR.
• Giving feedback on any recommendations made by HSRs.
• Providing information (not personal information unless consent is given).
• Providing time and resources for the HSR role.
• Providing paid leave to attend training, and pay training fees and costs of attending training.
