#### 16A Development of health and safety management arrangements
(1) In developing or varying health and safety management arrangements, an employer must have regard to any advice of the Commission on the matter (whether the advice has been given to that employer, or to employers generally).
(2) An employee of an employer who is holding consultations to develop or vary health and safety management arrangements may be represented in the consultations by one of the following if the employee so requests:
(a) another employee of the employer;
(b) an employee representative in relation to the employee.
(3) To avoid doubt, if an employee of an employer is represented under subsection (2), this does not prevent the employee, an employee mentioned in paragraph (2)(a) or any other employee of the employer from being involved in the consultations.
