Original Press Release:
OSHA and Safety Committees
Safety committees, when designed and implemented the right way, are incredibly effective at helping companies reduce accidents, injuries, and fines. OSHA places a high value on safety committees, but doesn't make them mandatory--however, several states do.
Whether or not you're legally required to have one, a well-run safety committee can give you a peer-driven review of safe work habits, as well as additional insight into illness and accident investigations. When you enhance your employees' safety IQ, they become fully invested in minimizing the risk of citations, fines, and workers' comp awards.
