Certified Safety Committees

A Certified Safety Committee is a group of management and employee staff that work to identify workplace hazards and risks and implement solutions aimed at removing or minimizing the likelihood of injury or loss. To be effective, the Safety Committee must commit to the goal of improving workplace safety through regular meetings, maintaining accurate reporting, documentation and accountability for reducing workplace hazards. Organizations that develop a Safety Committee and move to securing a certification experience significant benefits ranging from increased employee support and satisfaction in addition to financial benefits through insurance discounts.

Successful Safety Committees also develop standard meeting agendas, procedures, property inspections, along with member and improvement accountability. Getting a Safety Committee started is not difficult but will require some planning to ensure proper organizational representation. However the certification process will require the committee to undertake a required training session and produce at least six (6) months of consistent monthly meeting documentation including attendance sign in sheets, agendas, meeting minutes, identified risks and solution implementation.
