Evaluate Meeting Process and Outcomes
The safety committee meeting may be your organization's primary forum for discussing safety and health issues.
It's important to evaluate the meeting process to make sure its efficient and effective. The meeting is efficient if the process is conducted in a consistent and timely manner. The meeting should not be a waste of time. The meeting is effective if it achieves desired results. If the meeting isn't efficient and effective, the activity may actually be counter-productive in improving your organization's safety management system.
To make sure the meeting is both efficient and effective, it's important to evaluate the process and results. There are a number of ways to do that:
- Survey safety committee members and others. Ask co-workers searching questions. Get their ideas, feelings, opinions, and beliefs about the meeting. Survey non-members to determine how well the information from meetings is being communicated throughout the workplace.
- Interview individual members and co-workers. Sometimes you can learn valuable information that would never be captured on a survey. Ask them how you might be able to improve the safety committee meeting process and outputs.
