Although generally not required, a workplace safety committee is a valuable tool that helps employers boost their illness and injury prevention efforts and keep safe work habits at the forefront of everyone’s thinking. In this way, a safety committee can lower not only the risk of injuries to your workers but also your risk of costly fines, jury verdicts, and workers’ comp awards.
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.
