Chapter 5

Safety reps representing all staff

[ch 5: page 89]

The Code of Practice on the SRSCRs (paragraph 23) says:

“Normally recognised trade unions will appoint reps to represent a group(s) of workers for which the union has negotiating rights. However, limiting representation to a particular group should not be regarded as a hindrance to the representative raising general matters affecting the health and safety of employees as a whole.”
