The active involvement of workers is fundamental to good health and safety management. However, we know that many employers find it a difficult area to address. These resources provide a range of examples and suggestions that we hope will help employers and managers to encourage joint problem solving in their workplaces.

The diversity of organizations that are benefiting from worker involvement and the variety of systems they have put in place show that there is no 'one-size-fits-all' solution but that all organizations ? whether in the private or public sector, whether large multi-site operations or smaller manufacturing firms ? can involve workers in successful health and safety management.

We want this consultation to gather as many views as possible. Both workers and employers are instrumental in making involvement successful. So we want to know what managers, workers and their representatives think. We have suggested some options but we would welcome other ideas, too.
