The Role of Shop Stewards in the OHS Structure
SHE Rep has intimate knowledge of
the work activities, and is
permanently employed
One of the key principals of the OHS
Act is that work-related hazards, risks
and dangers should be addressed
through good communication
between management and
employees.
According to Section 17 of the
Occupational Health and Safety Act
(Act 85 of 1993), employers who
employ 20 or more workers on
premises must appoint
representatives to monitor health and
safety conditions.
Appointed representatives represent
workers regarding safety and health
matters to management.
Representative's forms part of an
important link between management
and the rest of the organisations
employees.
SHE Reps need to be nominated by
their piers and ideally the workforce-
team should choose their leader (SHE
Rep)

Having said all that, it is interesting to note that all the duties of the SHE Rep is prepositioned by the word
“may” Many expectations from SHE Reps was never intended to be added to the list of responsibilities they
already have and be held accountable for. Expectations from SHE Reps must ultimately be based on their
ability to handle their normal work activities as well as keeping an eye on everyone and everything else. This
is not always easy and SHE Reps feel the additional pressure bestowed upon them
If you really want to understand what the safety culture of a company is, speak to the safety representatives.
They are at the coal face of your safety management plan.
SHE Reps spend their time doing the work as part of a team and are given the additional responsibility of
documenting issues and completing check lists, attend safety meetings and discuss safety concerns with
employees during the day. The SHE Reps frequently share the additional burden of production expectations

Challenges & Concerns
16.5 “It must appoint a manager to address employee or workplace representative concerns and to keep them
informed and, in any workplace in which an health and safety committee has been elected, consult with that
committee on the nature of the hazard in that workplace and the measures that need to be taken
The regulations speak about a COVID-19 Manager whom carries the responsibility to train, monitor and advise
on site. The COVID-19 Manager must communicate with the Safety Committee as well as the SHE Reps to
ensure that the latest facts on the ground are communicated throughout the workforce. (Avoiding groupings of
employees should be kept in mind)
Ideally not.
Should additional COVID-19 -responsibilities be given to SHE Reps?
18. 1
18
Challenges and Concerns
This is distinctly different from the above, specifically speaking about an employee,
not rep or committee member, but an employee selected to perform certain duties
seemingly temporarily and only with relation to the COVID – 19 crises. It also seems
that the chosen person does not have to be permanently employed either, but
suitable to expedite COVID-19 related duties. These assigned employees will assist
the COVID-19 Manager in the day to day operations pertaining to the virus.
Assign, in writing, an employee or any other suitable person, as the compliance
employee, who must ensure-
compliance with the measures provided
for in paragraphs (a) to (d); and
that all directions in respect of hygienic
conditions and limitation of exposure to
persons with COVID-19 are adhered to.
19. 1
19
The role and responsibilities of the COVID-19 selected persons is likely to mount as more employees return to work.
Training the returning employees will require time, which should not be harvested from the SHE Rep or the Committee
Members.
Selected employees or other suitable persons have to be tasked with only COVID-19 related issues as they will not be as
easily distracted with their daily activities.
Manufacturing, production and the other essential services remain as dangerous now, perhaps more so now with less
hands, and should not be overlooked. The SHE Reps and Committee Members must continue with their routines as
before and COVID-19 responsibilities should preferably not be added to their portfolio if possible.
The Regulations clearly state that the Occupational Health and Safety Act and subsequent Regulations are still valid and
100% applicable. Therefore, we must be careful not to discard our current systems and safety procedures and only focus
on COVID-19.
Challenges and Concerns
20. 1
20
The COVID-19 landscape seems to change continuously. At the
drop of a hat, changes might need to implemented as the
regulations change. This will add an unnecessary burden to the
SHE Reps and the Committee Members who should only be
tasked with the communication of certain facts and procedures
to the work force.
The execution of emergency protocols should be part of
the COVID Managers’ duties and his assigned suitable
persons. If screening, isolating or quarantine protocols
are implemented because a positive or potential positive
person is identified, immediate action may be required.
Workstations may have to be isolated and cleaned and
departments may have to be shut down. Hands will be
required for these protocols and withdrawing SHE Reps or
other employees off machines and production scenarios
could cause problems.
Challenges and Concerns
21. 1
21
Challenges & Concerns
We do, however, see the Safety Committee
members and SHE Reps being the ‘voice of reason’
among the workforce.
SHE Reps armed with the facts communicated to
them by the COVID-19 MANAGER/s will potentially
stay the go-to person for employees.
It would be preferred that SHE Reps stay available
at all times to address COVID-19 issues (when they
are responsible for this) and not be tied up in their
daily activities.
