On 24 January, HSU Organiser Mark Jay and Health and Safety Representative (HSR) Michael Goodhew conducted a Work Health and Safety inspection at South East Regional Hospital.

During this inspection, members raised issues and multiple WHS risks were identified. These issues have been presented to management.

Another WHS inspection at SERH will be planned in coming weeks. Your safety is our priority – if you have any concerns about potential risks in the workplace, please reach out to your local supervisor, your HSR or HSU Organiser via [E-Mail not displayed].

Central to ensuring safe workplaces is worker representation. Your HSU Organiser and local delegates are supporting processes across the District to determine work groups and improve HSR representation. If you are interested in representing your colleagues as an HSR, contact Mark at the email above.

Safety is Union business. If you know someone who hasn’t yet joined the HSU, encourage them to join and have their say about safety issues. New members can join at www.hsu.asn.au/join or call 1300 478 679.
