Negotiations for and determination of work groups and variations of work groups must be directed at ensuring that the workers are grouped in a way that—
(a) most effectively and conveniently enables the interests of the workers, in relation to work health and safety, to be represented; and
(b) has regard to the need for a health and safety representative for the work group to be readily accessible to each worker in the work group.
Note—Under the Act , a work group may be determined for workers at more than one workplace ( section 51 (3)) or for workers carrying out work for two or more persons conducting businesses or undertakings at one or more workplaces ( part 5 , division 3 , subdivision 3 ).
