What is a Health and Safety Representative (HSR)

The role of the Health and Safety Representative (HSR) is elected and voluntary. The role is primarily to liaise with other staff to identify health and safety issues and convey these to management. HSRs are elected by fellow staff to represent the views of the staff group.

HSRs play a key role in prevention of workplace injury and illness, and promotion of good WHS practice. WHS Act does not impose specific obligations on HSRs but provides HSRs with powers and functions.
