This is the ideal primer for companies wanting to set up a Safety and Health Committee. It not only explains the basic organization and functions of a S&H Committee, but also explores possible shortcomings and tells how to avoid common failures. Building a Better Safety and Health Committee has many practical, workable ideas that are presented in a concise, easy-to-follow writing style.
The book was developed from surveys of employees at more than 1,000 companies following Workers’ Compensation reform in New Hampshire. The author has a precise understanding of the problems of a safety and health committee and what it takes to make the committee a productive and useful component of an overall safety program. This book is must reading for safety professionals, human resource managers, and all those involved in developing an S&H committee.
Chapters include:
- Trends in safety and health committees
- Getting started—legally
- The basic tools
- Committee leadership
- Training
- Running an effective committee meeting
"When safety committees work well, they can play a major role in giving a company the competitive advantage of a safe and healthy workplace. Spath has written an excellent prescription for making them work well."
- David L. Goetsch, Ph.D.
