A key component of a workplace health and safety program that prevents injury is the Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committee.
A Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committee is required in workplaces where there are 20 or more employees. Small workplaces with more than nine but less than 20 employees must have a worker health and safety representative.
The information in this section will support your Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committees or Worker Representatives to fulfill their legal obligations in the workplace.
An annual review of your safety program does not need to be done simultaneously. Consider creating a road map by choosing 1-2 monthly topics to evaluate.
Keep it updated; make it worth checking out. Assign someone with a creative flair to keep it looking its best!
Safety is not just the responsibility of the employer or the safety committee; engage all workers!
Your bulletin board (physical or digital) is a valuable resource for providing information to all workers.
