Currently, a business does not have to initiate elections for health and safety representatives if it has less than 20 workers and is in a low-risk sector or industry. The bill would remove these thresholds so all businesses are required to hold elections if requested by workers.
Make a submission on the bill by 11.59pm on Friday, 10 February 2023.
