The Construction Safety Committee

The purpose of a safety and health committee is to give employees the ability to participate in the implementation of the safety and health system that exists within your company.

The committee in your company should be comprised of management and employee representatives. The committee should meet at least monthly.

The committee should:

  • have defined goals and objectives
  • address safety and health issues
  • record and post minutes of the meetings
  • involve employees in problem solving
  • document action taken and post on the bulletin boards for all employees to read and-or comment
  • have a formal agenda
