Health and Safety at Work (Health and Safety Representatives and Committees) Amendment Bill
Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.
This bill aims to enhance worker access to formal worker engagement, participation, and representation mechanisms by removing current thresholds that limit worker access to health and safety representatives, and health and safety committees.MP in charge
