There are numerous ways in which a business can consult, and it is important to find the right consultation arrangement for your business as this demonstrates the business’ commitment to work health and safety (WHS).
When a business works together with their workers it creates a positive safety culture, where workers feel valued and included in the processes to improve WHS across the business. Consultation can help to improve relationships between leaders and workers and subsequently lead to improved engagement and workplace performance.
The Work Health and Safety Act 2011 [NSW] outlines the requirements for work health and safety (WHS) consultation in the workplace. In this InMotion we will explore what the requirements are, when to consult and the different ways in which your business may consult.
