Work Health and Safety Consultative Committee
The Work Health and Safety (WHS) Consultative Committee encourages a proactive and co-operative approach
to WHS between management and staff. The committee, elected by employees, meets once a quarter via
teleconference to discuss issues relating to WHS and provides advice on these issues to management. The
committee acts on any concerns raised by staff and investigates risks to health and safety.
The WHS committee members personally induct all new staff in their regions in WHS. They coordinate the
Emergency Wardens and First Aid Officers and monitor or organise fire equipment and evacuation/lockdown
drills. They also conduct proactive audits of all permanent and regular outreach sites annually, to identify and
control risks.
Please refer to the Corporate Social Responsibility section for 2015-16 initiatives.
