Workers and their HSRs who are or are likely to be directly affected by a WHS matter must be consulted (WHS Act ss 47 to 49): share information, give a reasonable chance to express views and take them into account before deciding. This is separate from consultation duties under awards or enterprise agreements. Consult when identifying hazards and assessing risks and when deciding on controls, and on changes that could affect WHS such as new policies and systems of work, restructures, staffing level changes, new reporting and locations, changes to tasks, workloads, duties and rosters, new technology, tools, plant, equipment, substances and processes, workplace redesign and changes to how information, training, instruction and supervision are provided. Follow any agreed consultation procedures. Consult a range of workers because exposure differs: different shifts, clinical and non-clinical staff and those more exposed to particular hazards, such as women to sexual harassment. Make consultation accessible, including information in several languages.
