This revised 2nd edition booklet provides the law and
guidance on how to consult and involve your employees and their
representatives on health and safety matters at work under the Safety
Representatives and Safety Committees Regulations 1977 (as amended) and
the Health and Safety (Consultation with Employees) Regulations 1996 (as
amended). It explains the relationship between the two sets of
regulations and how they affect you and your workforce; in some
workplaces you may have to consult under both sets of regulations.
It
should apply to the majority of workplaces. However, the Offshore
Installations (Safety Representatives and Safety Committees) Regulations
1989 apply to offshore workplaces. There are also specific requirements
to consult your employees or their health and safety representatives in
other health and safety legislation which applies to specific
industries. Extensive details of further sources of information and
industry-specific advice are provided.
It will be of help to
employers, trade unions, appointed health and safety representatives,
representatives of employee safety, and members of health and safety
committees. This second edition, originally published in 2012, has been
subject to some minor amendments and corrections to reflect changes to
linked HSE guidance and revisions/revocations to other, related pieces
of legislation. The guidance remains substantially the same.
