Do you have to have to have an occupational health and safety representative?
Whether you are required to have a health and safety representative depends on the laws of the state, province, or country where you work, the procedures of your employer, and the kind of work being performed. Many organizations, especially in construction, have come to require a safety and health representative on each job site to assist with safety functions and analyze job site risk and hazards. Usually, companies have OSHA representatives and they are one of the people that makes sure that your company is aligned with all of the guidelines of OSHA and that you will not be penalized for some working hazards or unsafe features in the workplace.
