The Health and Safety Representative is part of a work team but acts as a co-ordinator for the health and safety of the workplace.
He/She plays a vital role in carrying out all assigned duties and assisting others to carry out their tasks and responsibilities within a healthy and safe working environment.
Good Health and Safety Representatives are very valuable and help to prevent incidents which could harm employees, contractors, visitors and/or the environment.
In addition, a well-trained Health and Safety Representative can encourage a positive work environment, encourage a positive culture between staff and management and reduce corporate risk.
All Health and Safety Representatives will leave with an all-round knowledge of the requirements of being an effective Health and Safety Representative.
