WorkSafe advice on the Act
WorkSafe has produced a number of publications on the 2004 Occupational Health and Safety Act. The latest two provide information for employees and health and safety reps.
- Information for employees on health and safety - for employees, independent contractors and their employees.
- Information for health and safety representatives - for reps and deputies, explains their rights and powers, what to expect from the employer and where to go for help.
Have your say!
These publications were developed to assist ohs reps, deputies and workers.
Although the VTHC and our affiliates provided detailed input during the development of these documents, the unions still have a number of concerns. We invite reps, deputies, workers and other interested people to send in their views on these documents. Do you find them useful? Are they easily understood? Do they provide you with the sort of information and advice you need? Is there any information you would have liked them to include, that they don't?
Do you think they do the job? Go to the new forum topic and send in your views. Please identify whether you are a worker, a rep or an employer.
