Health and Safety Representatives (HSR's) may:
-Direct a worker to cease work
-Issue a provisional improvement notice (PIN)
These are some of the changes that are likely to be implemented as of January 1, 2012. These new functions need to be exercised responsibly. It will be important that HSR's have been trained properly to carry out these functions. It will also be important that the workforce at large is properly briefed on what these changes mean and how they are implemented.
An organization that has already established good OHS consultation arrangements will probably move into these changes without major issues.
