The Unions role in WH&S regarding Local Government and Clerical Workers

Health and Safety without Unions? Move towards separating WH&S issues from ‘industrial issues’ Tendency for Unions to neglect WH&S and the powers given by WH&S legislation – ‘means to an end’ Employers and legislation changing focus of WH&S

State-Wide Audit HSRs Work Safety Committees Record of pro-active health management Use of WH&S Right-of-Entry

Organising Identifying Working Groups within Councils and other workplaces and then identifying members as potential HSRs In conjunction with Unions NSW as an RTO, providing independent training to HSRs Supporting them through existing structures

Organising Advocating on WH&S issues Regular use of Right of Entry by Organisers to investigate suspected WH&S breaches – in partnership with HSR Using Fair Work and Industrial Relations Act provisions to protect any officer pressured or targeted – particularly after issuing a PIN

Enforcement In WorkCover charged 130 defendants for WH&S breaches, 83 defendants were successfully convicted The transfer of WH&S to the District Court will further stretch the resources of WorkCover in terms of prosecutions Removal of moiety for prosecutors In reality this means LOCAL solutions
