Health and Safety Reps

We are looking to recruit more health and safety reps within the branch. Health and safety reps play a key role in ensuring that staff are looked after properly and that managers adhere to DWP Health and Safety guidance and we are concerned that several sites do not have a trained rep on site.

Health and safety reps only deal with issues regarding health and safety. They would not be expected to handle disciplinary cases or negotiate with managers on behalf of members. We have several experienced reps in place, so we would ensure that any new reps received all the support and help that they need.

There are plans for a PCS Health & Safety course in the near future. If you are interested in becoming a rep please let me or one of the other reps know.
