Welcome to HSR Connect.

Thank you for subscribing to our quarterly eNews – your go-to for the latest news and resources tailored to Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs).

The best people to speak on safety at work are those who know the job.

You bring a lot to your organisation in a HSR role – from being a single point of contact for workers on WHS issues, to ensuring better efficiency, more effective representation, and the wealth of knowledge gained through your training and experience.

HSR Connect is an initiative to help us build a strong partnership between SafeWork SA and the more than 4,600 dedicated HSRs who work tirelessly to ensure the safety of South Australian workplaces.

SafeWork SA is working to better support, empower and celebrate HSRs. For more information, check out the HSR Strategy.

Together, we will continue to champion workplace health and safety and make a real difference.
