When it comes to workplace safety, your employees are a valuable resource. As the ones who do the work each day, they have the best knowledge of the hazards that come with their specific job duties. And, your employees can likely offer some good solutions, too.
But, you might ask yourself, what’s the best way to tap that employee resource? One answer comes in the form of a safety committee. Here, you can get everyone together and discuss the risks they face each day. You can also brainstorm about potential solutions. And, you can seek help from your workers when you make policy changes related to these discussions.
Another benefit of having a safety committee is that it can fulfill the communication requirement of your Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP).
