Need an Extra Right Arm? Arm Yourself with a Safety Committee

What safety professional would say no to an extra right arm? Well-trained, purposeful safety committees can significantly augment a safety manager's capability, and boost a company's overall success.

Safety committees are common in companies of all sizes in virtually all industries, both unionized and not. Although they got their start in auto manufacturing, committees are everywhere today.
Although they are not required, safety committees are admired by OSHA. The state of Oregon mandates them for many businesses, and in Pennsylvania, certified committees can earn employers rebates on the cost of workers' compensation coverage. In California, committees may serve as a legally required means of communicating with workers about safety and health.
