Joint Health & Safety Committees
A joint health and safety committee is a forum for putting the internal responsibility system into practice. The primary purpose of the committee is to facilitate communication on health and safety issues.
An effective committee will help reduce losses associated with accidents and occupational illness. Another significant benefit is the enhancement of cooperation between all parts of the workforce in solving health and safety problems.
This Program examines the requirements for Joint Health and Safety Committees in the recently proclaimed Safety & Health at Work Act 2005-12 (SHAW 2005-12).
Much emphasis will be placed on equipping businesses to achieve and maintain effective safety committees whose members will execute the safety and health mandates of the organisation.
After completing this workshop, participants will be aware of:
- The legal requirements for the implementation of a Safety Committee
- The correct selection process for committee members
- The rights and responsibilities of committee members
- Requirements for Effective Committees
- The Do's and Don'ts of the Committee
