Consultation with safety reps


[ch 8: pages 135-136]

The HSE guidance makes clear the importance of consultation with workers and their safety reps. 



Safety reps will find the appendix in the guidance particularly useful. It includes guidance on using risk assessment filters, manual handling assessment charts (the MAC tool) and other HSE tools (see below) on lifting and carrying and pushing and pulling.
