Safety Committee

Safety Committee

A joint staff/management safety committee has been established. Its purpose is to promote safety and health in the workplace, and to identify and reduce or eliminate obstacles to a safe, healthful workplace. The Safety Committee makes advisory recommendations regarding policies, procedures, training, and practices, and serves as primary communicators regarding safety matters.

The safety committee consists of at least one manager, one line-staff representative from each facility, and an additional line-staff member selected as representative of the collective bargaining unit. The Committee meets twice each quarter, and conducts facility inspections once each quarter. Minutes are posted on the staff bulletin board at each facility.

Employees are encouraged to submit any safety concerns to their manager and/or a safety
committee member.
