This site is being developed by the Victorian Trades Hall Council's (VTHC) Occupational Health and Safety Unit. The Unit provides training, information and support to health and safety representatives and deputies. The development of the site has been made possible by a grant from WorkSafe Victoria.
The VTHC is the peak body representing affiliated Unions in Victoria. The VTHC represents workers and affiliated unions in a wide range of forums. It also provides information and advice in employment related matters, including health and safety and workers' compensation.
The OHS Unit has five staff members: the Co-ordinator, the Campaigns and Information Officer, training officers, the Website Information Officer, and administrative staff. Sessional trainers are also employed to assist in the delivery of training courses. The VTHC Media Officer also works part-time for the OHS Unit and Reps Website.
About the Website
We aim to provide health and safety reps with information and advice on how to address and resolve workplace issues. This may include some technical advice, or information on how to find the resources you need. More importantly we hope the web site will assist you to identify and tackle particular hazards and negotiate a resolution with your employer.
