Write it Down

Put your plan down in writing: make it formal.
The safety committee policy statement should include:
- Vision and mission statements
- The roles and purposes of the safety committee
- Reasons for establishing the safety committee
- The need for management and employee participation
- The need for support by all departments
- Responsibilities of the committee
- Duties of committee members
Getting Organized
The safety committee will be composed of several people from management and the labor force. What kind of structure should the safety committee have? Typically, the committee will have a chairperson (some will also have a co-chair), a recorder, and several members. You don't need a complicated bureaucratic structure.
