File Size: 3.3 MB

Pages: 17

The CSP established the Safety Representative Facilitation Project (SRFP) to help workers and management develop consultation on safety, and in particular, the Site Safety Representatives at site level.

This document we hope will give you practical guidance on how to structure consultation with your site safety representative. We intend by no means to be prescriptive or restrictive as to how consultation is carried out on your site, but we recommend that you take cognizance of these guidelines when developing the consultation process.

We have also provided a video to accompany this document - "Site Safety Representative in Construction" which you can view online.
