WHAT SHOULD SAFETY AND HEALTH CONSULTATION COVER?

Employers must consult in good time on anything carried out in the workplace which can have a substantial effect on safety and health. Any type of work activity already covered by safety and health law is valid for discussion. Consultation must occur on:

▲ any risk-protection and prevention measures

▲ the appointment and duties of staff with safety and health responsibilities

▲ the outcome of risk assessments on workplace hazards

▲ the preparation of the safety statement

▲ safety and health information to be provided to employees

▲ reportable accidents or dangerous occurrences

▲ the engagement of safety and health experts or consultants

▲ the planning and organising of safety and health training

▲ the planning and introduction of new technologies, particularly on the consequences of the choice of work equipment, on working conditions and on the working environment
