The legislative framework for offshore petroleum safety makes clear provision for workforce representation. The following guides and resources are provided to give an understanding of this role, how it operates and sources of training that are available.

HSR Handbook

NOPSEMA has developed a handbook to assist Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) in the performance of their role. The HSR Handbook has been updated to take account of the status of relevant legislation as at 1 January 2010, and will be updated to reflect legislation changes as they occur. Subscribe to the NOPSEMA HSR mailing list by sending an email to communications@nopsema.gov.au with your name, contact details and the facility on which you are currently working to receive regular updates.

HSR Forum

An annual national forum for petroleum industry HSRs has been held since the late 1990s. The main objective of this event is to provide an opportunity HSRs from all jurisdictions to meet, exchange information and develop strategies to assist in the management of offshore safety issues in the workplace.
