Health and Safety Law 2024

Under the Health and Safety (Consultation with Employees) Regulations 1996 (HSCER), employers must consult employees who are not represented by trade union safety reps. The employer can choose to consult these employees directly or through elected representatives. If representatives are to be elected, the employer must make arrangements for elections of “representatives of employee safety” (ROES) by the group of employees with whom they work.
