(b) consult with relevant Employees in relation to resolving the issue
(c) consult with the relevant PCBU (as defined in the WHS Act) about resolving the issue
(d) inspect and take copies of any document that is directly relevant to resolving the issue; and
(e) advise any person whom the representative reasonably believes to be exposed to a serious risk to his or her health and safety, emanating from an immediate and imminent exposure to a hazard of that risk.
11.4 The Nominated Parties and/or their representatives may commence the procedure by informing, either by themselves or their representative, the other Parties and/or representatives that:
(a) there is an issue to be resolved; and
(b) the nature and scope of the issue.

11.8 The Nominated Parties and/or their representatives must make reasonable efforts to achieve a timely and final resolution of the issue.
