16  Negotiations for and determination of work groups
  Negotiations for and determination of work groups and variations of work groups must be directed at ensuring that the workers are grouped in a way that:
 (a) most effectively and conveniently enables the interests of the workers, in relation to work health and safety, to be represented; and
 (b) has regard to the need for a health and safety representative for the work group to be readily accessible to each worker in the work group.
Note: Under the Act, a work group may be determined for workers at more than one workplace (subsection 51(3)) or for workers carrying out work for 2 or more persons conducting businesses or undertakings at one or more workplaces (Subdivision 3 of Division 3 of Part 5 of the Act).
