A health and safety committee, comprised of worker and management representatives who meet regularly, brings the internal responsibility system into practice. This system recognizes that employers and workers have a shared responsibility for workplace health and safety, with the employer having final authority and responsibility. In all Canadian jurisdictions, a health and safety committee is required by law when a specified number of workers are employed.
This infographic outlines requirements and good practices for an effective health and safety committee, including defining roles and responsibilities, providing training and resources, and recognizing and addressing workplace hazards.
