Safety Committees: How To Keep Your Safety Committee Effective and Relevant for the Long Haul

Many companies start safety committees with great commitment and enthusiasm, only to watch that effort dwindle down to nothing over time. Eventually, you wind up with a safety committee without a lot of impact – or, worse still, one that actively wastes company time and resources.
With OSHA’s new increased enforcement agenda – as well as your responsibility to identify, correct, and engage employees in fixing hazards – now’s the time to make sure your committee is a truly effective, valuable tool in your safety arsenal.
