  • Enter quorum and representation structure, and then click the ‘Identify Co-Chairs’ button. 

Note

  • The quorum structure must be completed before you can create a recurring meeting because it can impact the meeting functionality.
  • Click the ‘+ Add Worker Representation’ or ‘Add Employer Representation’ links to update the representation structure.
  • The representation structure cannot be empty before adding members to the committee because the ‘Affiliation/Employer’ field will be blocked in the ‘Add Member’ screen, and you will not be able to complete the add a member process.
  • The quorum structure must align with the following rule: The combined minimum number of worker and employer representatives cannot exceed the minimum number of attendees to meet the quorum. ​

Note

  • For non-health authority members, the email address must have been registered on the OHS Resource Centre.
