Safety Committees: How to Develop, Implement, and Maintain an Effective Program That Works for You
Safety Committees Audio Conference on CD
Although generally not required, a workplace safety committee is an extremely valuable tool that employers can use to augment their illness and injury prevention efforts and keep the need for safe work habits at the forefront of everyone’s thinking. In this way, a safety committee can lower the risk of injuries to your workers and lower your organization’s risk of fines, jury awards, and workers’ compensation costs.
If you want your safety committee to make a real difference in your workplace, you must be prepared to invest a good deal of energy and time designing and developing it – if you don’t, your efforts will be wasted.
