Guidance has been launched by the HSE on workers representation and involvement in health and safety, whilst at the same time the HSE website pages regarding workers involvement have also been updated.

At the October 2008 launch both the Health and Safety Minister Lord McKenzie and HSE Chair Judith Hackitt spoke strongly in support of Trade Union Safety Representatives and the benefits of better safety standards provided by actively involved Safety Reps.

They also stressed the need for Employers to comply with the Law requiring consultation and involvement.

This resource containing the current Safety Reps and Safety Committees Regulation 1977 is THE MOST important document and resource for ALL Union Safety Reps.
