Who do you want to nominate?
Think about who you want to nominate at your workplace to become a health and safety representative for the coming three years. It could be someone who has not previously been a health and safety representative, but it is also possible to nominate the current representative if you would like to see them re-elected. You can also nominate yourself if you would like to be a health and safety representative.
Health and safety representatives are offered a comprehensive work environment course that has been produced in a collaboration between the University’s chief health and safety representatives, the HR Division and the Occupational Health Service.
Three-stage election
Heads of department/equivalent are to inform staff members about the health and safety representative election at their workplace. The election of health and safety representatives and substitutes is a three-stage process:
- Nomination of health and safety representative, at the workplaces.
- Conducting of election, at the workplaces.
- Formal election, when the employee organisations jointly appoint the health and safety representatives.
Only staff who are members of the employee organisations with which the University has collective agreements (Saco/S, Seko and OFR/S) can be appointed as health and safety representatives.
