About this Webinar

Are you required to have a safety committee in your workplace? You may be required to have a safety committee due to regulatory compliance, number of employees or state guidelines. Even if you are not required to have a safety committee, establishing a safety committee is a critical step toward fostering a culture of safety.

Safety committees develop, implement and maintain effective safety programs by conducting regular safety audits and inspections and promoting ongoing employee education and training on safety practices.

Some states do not require employers to establish safety committees. However, 14 states require an employee/employer safety committee at some or all workplaces in their jurisdictions.

In this FREE webinar, you will:

-Discover why a safety committee matters and the benefits of having one.
-Find out how to avoid an OSHA citation if your state requires a safety committee.
-Learn how to establish a safety committee.
-Determine who needs to participate and the balance of management and labor in a safety committee.
-Learn how to create an effective safety committee agenda and how to set safety objectives and goals.

Join us for the FREE webinar and get the inside track from your OECS workplace safety experts!
