Course Overview

Safety and Health Committees (SHCs) allow businesses to work together with workers on safety and health matters. The main functions of a committee are to facilitate cooperation in developing and carrying out measures to improve the safety and health of workers. Not all members of organisations are aware of, or understand the purpose, functions or responsibilities of the SHC. After attending this training they will, as our course is focused on detailing those responsibilities and how to form and function as a safety and health committee.
