Occupational Safety Reps

The occupational safety representative represents employees when dealing with matters relating to health and safety at the work place. This is called labour protection.

You can turn to the occupational safety representative when, for example:

• you have a problem relating to ergonomics at work or how your place of work is set out
   
• you feel that you have problems keeping up with your work, i.e. when you have too much work to do or your work timetable is too busy
   
• if you are subjected to sexual harassment at work
   
• if you feel that you are bullied mentally or physically at work
   
• you don’t know what to do in a case of emergency, for example, what to do if a fire breaks out.
