What it requires
Where a recognised trade union appoints safety representatives: their functions (investigation, inspection, representations), the employer's duty to consult them, to give them time off and facilities, and to establish a safety committee within three months of a written request from two representatives. Employees not so represented are consulted under the 1996 Regulations instead.
