Joint Safety Committee Dynamics

In many Canadian jurisdictions, joint safety committees are a regulatory requirement. In others, they are seen as a vehicle to improve corporate culture and enhance mutual trust/respect across the hierarchy. Regardless of whether a compliance or policy issue, putting stakeholders from various levels of the hierarchy in a role where they are charged with producing results for the safety program requires a rich understanding of the human qualities of communication, trust, power sharing and engagement.
