Does my employer have to consult me about introducing new vaccination policies?
A:
Health and safety legislation requires employers to consult with workers who may be directly affected when making decisions about ways to eliminate or reduce risks to health and safety.
Employers must consult with workers and Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) at the workplace when considering health and safety matters and prior to any decision on vaccinations.
Workers and HSRs can get assistance from our union to do this.
