Safety Committees:

It is the duty of employers to form a safety committee if requested to do so by at least two safety representatives. However many employers routinely set up safety committees as a decision making forum for health & safety matters. Committees can be sit up company wide, site specific or inter departmental.

The prime function of the Safety Committee is to give advice and make recommendations on matters leading to improvements in Health & Safety practices.

The main objectives of the Safety Committee should be:

To reduce the numbers of personal injury accidents,
To stimulate interest in Health & Safety matters,
Review changes in work practices and legislation.

Such committees must be properly constituted and should consist of management and safety representatives. The chairman should be a senior manager.
