Consultation
Group Exercise
Consultation
Consulting in the workplace with those
potentially affected by the design decisions.
Consultation involves the sharing of
information, giving workers a reasonable
opportunity to express their views and taking
those views into account before making
decisions on health and safety matters.
Group exercise
Break up into small groups and discuss the following:
Where does consultation fit into people-friendly design?
How can workers participate/contribute in the design process?
How are workers currently involved in the design process in
your workplace?
How can worker consultation be improved?
