Safety Committees: How to Turn Talk Into Action


Too often, safety committees don’t live up to expectations. The first few meetings are exciting and the group comes up with a list of great ideas. But enthusiasm wanes when proposed initiatives stall or get shot down. Discouraged, the group loses its spark and meetings degenerate into little more than “donut-eating gripe sessions.”

Safety committees that consistently fail to deliver results send the message that safety really doesn’t matter. The question is: how do you build a safety committee that truly drives a culture of safety? What “best practices” are world-class organizations using to form and maintain committees that keep top management and front line workers on the same page, help pinpoint and correct workplace hazards and ultimately reduce injuries and deaths?

Here’s some help to get you started in the right direction … whether you’re building from scratch or trying to reinvigorate an existing team. In this 60-minute audio conference program, Darlene Hardy, MSC, EHS Consultant with Boretti, Inc., will share with you an action plan she’s developed and utilized in her career to make safety committees a truly wise investment of time and energy. No ivory-tower theory, just actionable ideas you can put to use right away.

Learning Objectives:

  • The #1 reason safety committees fail – and how to avoid that common trap.
  • Techniques to get active participation from everyone.
