DEVELOPMENT OF EFFECTIVE "JOINT HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMITTEES" (JHSC)

Effective Joint Health and Safety Committees are essential for the provision of a healthy and safe workplace. A committee works most effectively when its role is clearly defined and accepted. Committee members, their employer, other managers and workers must, first of all, understand why the Joint Health and Safety Committee is important. Training of your members is critical to establishing an effective committee.
