The Health and Safety Rep Handbook provides sufficient information for EIS Reps to be able to deal with the majority of health and safety issues raised by members.
Arguably the most important duty is to carry out workplace health and safety inspections.
When at least two Safety Reps have put their request for one in writing, an employer must set a safety committee up within three months.
This FAQ attempts to answer many of the questions asked by members in relation to workplace safety.
If you are a Health and Safety representative in need of advice, help or support you should contact your EIS Local Association Secretary.
