Studio's meetings/ inspection and consultative process Our safety rep, Olivia Marshall makes decisions regarding safety under the OH&S act A person conducting a business or undertaking must consult with workers when: Identifying hazards and assessing risks arising from the work carried out or to be carried out Making decisions about ways to eliminate or minimise those risks Making decisions about the adequacy of facilities for the welfare of workers Proposing changes that may affect the health or safety of your workers, and Making decisions about procedures for consulting with workers; resolving health or safety issues; monitoring health of your workers; monitoring the conditions at the workplace and providing information and training for your workers. .
