Safety

Employee involvement in preventing workplace injuries and illnesses is critical. To assure employee participation, an employee/management Safety and Health Committee has been established. Members are elected annually by their peers to serve on the committee for a term of one year.

Duties of the Safety Committee members include, but are not limited to:

• Reviewing safety and health inspection reports to help correct safety hazards.
• Evaluating the accident investigations conducted since the last meeting to determine if the cause(s) of the unsafe situation was identified and corrected.
• Evaluating the workplace accident and illness prevention program and discussing recommendations for improvement, if needed.
• Conducting a monthly departmental safety inspection.
• Communicating with the employees they represent on safety issues.
• Encouraging safe work practices among co-workers.
• Recording meetings
• Update and maintain the safety bulletin boards.
• Keep their building’s first aid kit stocked and maintained.
