SAWB - HSRs and Best Practice
from SafetyAtWorkBlog Hosted by Kevin Jones
This episode examines Australia’s current focus on Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) in workplace safety reform, questioning whether this emphasis accurately reflects the diversity of Australian workplaces. It highlights concerns about the lack of comprehensive national data on HSRs, the potential for survey bias, and the need for a more inclusive, evidence-based consultation approach that considers non-union workers, small businesses, and sectors where HSRs are less common. The discussion encourages a broader perspective on occupational health and safety, advocating for reforms that reshape workplace culture by listening to all voices, not just the most prominent.
