Health and Safety Representatives

Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) play a pivotal role in keeping South Australian workplaces safe.

By representing workers in their work group, HSRs provide a means for workers to raise safety issues within their workplace, and follow a process with employers to resolve them.

Wherever these issues are resolved successfully we avoid the human and financial costs of workplace injuries.
