Health and Safety Representatives

Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) are employees elected by members of a Designated Work Group (DWG) to represent and safeguard their health and safety interests.

A HSR elected for a DWG may, under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 (Vic), do any of the following:

• Inspect any part of a workplace in which a member of the DWG works after giving reasonable notice, or without delay in the event of an incident or immediate risk to health or safety.
• Accompany an inspector during a workplace inspection involving their DWG.
• Require the establishment of a health and safety committee.
• If the member of the DWG consents, attend interviews on health or safety matters between that person and an inspector or employer.
• If the HSR is authorised to represent an independent contractor and that person consents, attend interviews on health or safety matters between that person and an inspector or employer.
