Health & Safety Representative
In workplaces where there are between five and 19 regularly employed workers, Ontario law requires that there is a health and safety representative available and that the representative needs to be trained and certified.
Employers or constructors must ensure that workers select a health and safety representative. Like the joint health and safety committee members, this representative should be committed to improving health and safety conditions in the workplace.
Generally speaking, a health and safety representative has the same responsibilities and powers as a joint health and safety committee member.

The role of the Health and Safety Representative is to help identify any health and safety issues with fellow workers and to present these concerns to management. The Representative acts as the link between the employers and workers so that health and safety solutions can be developed, together.
