There are a number of actions that can be taken: 

• You can bring the matter up with your OHS committee. This may solve the problem, as there may be a simple breakdown in consultation/communication.
• If dissatisfied with the way the OHS committee has addressed a particular occupational health and safety issue, you can take your concerns directly to management.
• If you consider the issue is a risk to health and safety, you could contact your local WorkCover office for an Inspector to provide advice and/or investigate the situation for possible breaches of OHS legislation.

Remember that one of the best ways to have an influence on the performance of your OHS Committee is to become a member yourself. You may wish to consider this the next time a vacancy arises.
