Electing an HSR
Find out how to elect a Health & Safety Representative in your workplace.
HSRs can only be elected by workers in a particular workgroup. As the HSR represents workers, an employer cannot nominate or appoint them.
Workers can also elect a Deputy HSR.
A workgroup is determined by negotiation and agreement between a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) and workers. You can ask for representation in these negotiations.
