DSR Role and Responsibilities
Each department/agency/district is responsible for appointing a Departmental Safety Representative(s). Safety Representatives serve as coordinators responsible for the implementation of workplace safety programs, communication and the disbursement of information within their department or agency. They assist department/agency heads in ensuring that the department/agency complies with safety laws and regulations, and work with employees and supervisory personnel to resolve safety problems. It is recommended that at least one (1) safety representative be appointed for every two‑hundred (200) employees in a department/agency/district.
