< span data-offset-key="181:0">About the elected HSR

\n

Employees are entitled to be represented in relation to health and safety matters. An HSR is the vital link in the communication process between the employee s and the employer in relation to occupational health and safety.

\n

An HSR represents the employees in their Designated Work Group (DWG) by raising\, monitoring and resolving OHS matters with their employer.

\n

The key factor to remember is that an elected HSR represents t he interests of the employees. It is not an appointed position and does no t have any associated responsibility for meeting the health and safety obl igations of the employer.
