Stand for election as an occupational health and safety representative at AU

Would you like to help develop the good work environment at AU to ensure the right balance between well-being and efficiency? Would you like to advise and provide input to management on occupational health and safety and contribute to the strategic development of our workplace – while inspiring and motivating your colleagues? If so, this is your chance to stand for election as an occupational health and safety representative. All centres, departments/schools, faculties and units in the administration have their own occupational health and safety representatives within the occupational health and safety organisation.

Make a difference and help promote well-being and cooperation

As an occupational health and safety representative, you will help to make a difference and promote well-being and cooperation on a day-to-day basis together with your colleagues. Occupational health and safety representatives and managers are close partners in this respect, providing the impetus for projects and initiatives that help to reinforce the local work environment. Apart from being an occupational health and safety representative, you can also go one step further and get involved in strategic efforts as part of an occupational health and safety committee in the unit where you are employed. - But before you get that far, you have to be elected by your colleagues. The election itself will be taking place from 11 to 26 January.

How to stand for election

All employees who have worked at AU for a minimum of 9 months can stand for election as occupational health and safety representatives. You will stand for election in the organisational unit where you work and which is covered by the occupational health and safety group – part of a department/school, for example. Occupational health and safety representatives are elected for three years at a time (1 March 2018 to 28 February 2021).
