Health and Safety Committee Effectiveness and Worker Consultation

Many workplaces appoint a safety committee to satisfy the law and then let it drift into a monthly complaint session with no follow through. This course shows how to run a committee that actually surfaces hazards, tracks actions to closure and gives workers a genuine voice in safety decisions. It uses realistic committee agendas, action registers and consultation methods suited to unionised and non unionised African workplaces.
