Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Representatives play a critical role in ensuring that work-related hazards, risks and dangers are mitigated through good communication between management and employees.

The appointment of OHS representatives is a legal requirement; representatives in writing for a specified period. To enable OHS representatives to function optimally, they must undergo training to present their fellow employees and ensure a safe working environment and identify any risks or hazards that might endanger them.
