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 (subsection 51(3)) or for workers carrying out work
for 2 or more persons conducting businesses or undertakings at one or more
workplaces (Subdivision 3 of Division 3 of Part 5 of the
Act).
