Employers!
Did you know that the ‘Establishment of an Occupational Health and Safety Committee’ is the #1 Contravention handed out by Occupational Health and Safety Officers?
Also, among the top ten contraventions, the ‘Frequency of Meetings’ and ‘Training of Committee Members’ remain high. Having an OH&S Committee is not optional!
Every place of employment where ten or more workers of one employer work is required to have an OH&S Committee. This committee must have at least two members, represent the employer and employees, and meet no less than once every three months.
This committee is an integral part of your Safety Management System that helps you see, hear and respond to the health and safety of employees and the workplace.
Having an effectively run committee with appropriately trained members will help make your workplace safer and will make YOUR job easier.
