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 for regulation 16
Under the Act, a work group may be determined for workers at more than
1 workplace (section 51(3)) or for workers carrying out work for 2 or more
persons conducting businesses or undertakings at one or more workplaces
(Part 5, Division 3, Subdivision 3 of the Act).
