Background - What is WHS consultation?

The model WHS Act makes it a legal requirement that workers consult with other duty holders. This is an important part of managing work safety and health.

A person conducting a business or undertaking one, should reasonably consult workers who perform work for the company or undertaking and are (or will be) directly affected in a matter of health and safety. This applies to all employees, contractors, volunteers, and others who do work for the company or undertaking.

When you are working with employees, it is important to consult them in:

1 – Identifying dangers

3 - Making decisions to minimize/eliminate these risks and dangers

4 - Making decisions about the availability of welfare facilities for workers.

5 - Introducing changes that could affect workers' safety or health.

When developing procedures, you must consult workers:

1 - Regarding work safety and health

2 - Resolving safety and health issues at work

3 - Monitoring the health of workers and their workplace conditions.

4 - Informing and training for workers

Consultation should be made accessible to everyone and be understandable by all, including those who are culturally or linguistically diverse.
