Designated Work Groups and Health and Safety Representatives

A Designated Work Group (DWG) is a grouping of staff that best and most conveniently enables the staffs’ interests relating to occupational health and safety matters to be represented and safeguarded.  The University’s Designated Work Groups include all staff (academic and general) in those groups.

Under legislation there can only be one Health and Safety Representative (HSR) (and a deputy) for each DWG.  A HSR has special powers under the OHS Act (see Comcare website for further information)
