Worker representation can benefit a business and workers in many different ways by:

• providing a clear, well known way for workers to raise issues and suggest improvements to health and safety at work
• providing a voice for workers who might not otherwise speak up about health and safety matters
• providing a link between workers and management
• helping in situations where it’s not practical for the business to engage one-to-one with its entire workforce
• providing a different perspective on the business’ day to day processes.
