Safety Committees - How they Help with OSHA Compliance and Improve Safety

This webinar will guide you in setting up a safety committee, defining its role, setting goals and evaluating them to measure its success.

Why Should You Attend:

Safety committees are a requirement of a number of state safety laws and Federal OSHA is moving forward on a proposed regulation requiring them as part of every employer's written safety plan. Some states provide discounts on workers' compensation insurance premiums for companies with safety committees. Used effectively, they can help engage employees in safety and reduce accidents.
