\nAbout the elected HSR< /p>\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 employees and the employer in relation to occupational health and safety.
\nAn HSR represents the employees in their Designated Work Gr oup (DWG) by raising\, monitoring and resolving OHS matters with their emp loyer.
\nThe key factor to remember is that an elected HSR rep resents the interests of the employees. It is not an appointed position an d does not have any associated responsibility for meeting the health and s afety obligations of the employer.
