A Word About Commitment
Okay, so the rules aren't that interesting. That's because they're typically written by lawyers for lawyers for the benefit of lawyers (a little lawyer humor there ;-).
Notice that the previous rules require a certain level of management commitment to workplace health and safety. What is commitment? In this course it means investing the time and money it takes for safety committees to meet regularly. Remember, every employer activity requires a commitment of resources.
It's important for safety committees to return the biggest "bang for the buck" possible to the employer. They do that by making sure safety committee meetings are effective. What does "effective" mean here? In this context, it may be thought of as producing well-written recommendations for improving safety programs.
If your employer sees value in conducting safety committee meetings, the time and money invested in safety committee meetings will increase. If the employer sees the safety committee meeting as a waste of time, don't expect enthusiastic commitment. Let's discuss ways to fine-tune safety committee meetings so they produce valuable results.
