Health and Safety Law 2024 (October 2024)

Safety reps should encourage co-operation between the employer and workers to promote and develop measures to secure workplace health and safety and to check their effectiveness. They should bring to the employer’s notice, normally in writing, any unsafe or unhealthy conditions or working practices, or unsatisfactory arrangements for welfare at work which come to their attention “whether on an inspection or day-to-day observation”. For more information see HSE guide Consulting workers on health and safety.
