What must the parties do if a health and
safety issue arises in the workplace?
The employer (or their representative) and the affected
workers or, if the issue relates to a DWG, that DWG’s HSR,
must attempt to resolve the issue in accordance with a
procedure agreed to in the workplace. This means that if a
workplace has an agreed issue resolution procedure, this
procedure must be followed to try resolve the issue.
If there is no such procedure, the procedure prescribed by
Part 2.2 of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations
2007 (the Regulations) must be used.
