Consultation is a legal requirement and a crucial part of managing health and safety risks. A person, who is conducting a business or undertaking it, should consult with workers, who carry out work for the business or undertaking, and who are directly or indirectly affected by the health and safety matter. The task is based on the concept that workers input and participation improves decision-making about health and safety matters and assists in reducing work-related diseases and injuries. So, you should consult with your contractors and sub-contractors and their workers, volunteers and other people, who are working for you, and are affected by a health and safety matter. Workers are entitled to take part in consultation arguments and to be represented in relation to work health and safety by a health and safety representative who has been elected to represent their work group. If workers are represented by a health and safety representative, consultative should involve that representative.
