Variation of designated work groups at initiative of operator
21 Variation of designated work groups at initiative of operator
If the operator of a facility believes the designated work groups should be varied, the operator may, at any time, enter into consultations about the variations with—
the health and safety representative of each of the designated work groups affected by the proposed variation; and
if a member of a designated work group affected by the proposed variation requests that the operator enter into consultations with that workforce representative in relation to the group—that workforce representative; and
each work group employer (if any) in relation to each designated work group affected by the proposed variation.
If—
consultations take place about the variation of designated work groups that have already been established; and
as a result of the consultations, it has been determined that the variation of some or all of those designated work groups is justified, then, within 14 days after the completion of the consultations, the operator must, by notifying the members of the workforce who are affected by the variation, vary the designated work groups in accordance with the outcome of the consultations.
