520			_aFollowing the analysis of the responses to the Health and Safety Commission's discussion document (HSB 284 5 encouraged the promotion of public debate on arrangements for employee consultation and greater involvement in workplace health and safety), the HSC agreed with ministers measures to improve consultation with workers. This article principally discusses the Worker safety Adviser (WSA) pilot scheme which set out to introduce specially trained safety advisers to places that had no safety representatives and to liaise with management and the workforce over health and safety issues on site. Dyer concludes that the results of the pilot scheme show that WSAs can make a difference to health and safety standards in small workplaces.
