16—Negotiations for and determination of work groups
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 2 or more
persons conducting businesses or undertakings at 1 or more workplaces
(Subdivision 3 of Division 3 of Part 5 of the Act).
