An HSR is a valuable resource in promoting health and safety information to workers. They play an active role in assisting the PCBU to protect workers against risks. HSRs assist in developing a stronger commitment to safety from workers by involving them in decisions on how to manage risks and getting rapid resolution of health and safety issues.
The Work Health and Safety Act 2011 provides for the election of HSRs as the primary mechanism to represent workers on health and safety issues.
HSRs are entitled to choose and attend an approved five day training course in work health and safety. The PCBU must allow the HSR to attend within a 3 month period of the request for training and is responsible for payment of course fees.
