What if a job changes, the workplace moves or the safety and health representative leaves the job?
Safety and health representatives are elected for a term of two years to represent employees in an area, workplace or group determined during consultation before the election. A safety and health representative also ceases to hold their position if he or she: • Leaves their job • Resigns from the position • Transfers from the area they were elected to represent • Is disqualified by the Occupational Safety and Health Tribunal. In those circumstances, either the employer or the safety and health representative should notify Resources Safety so that the database can be updated. The advice should be sent to mineshreps@dmp.wa.gov.au or by facsimile to +61 8 9358 8188.
