Safety Meetings?

Dear Professor Risk,
I have heard that we are required to have a company safety committee. We have employee meetings where we discuss safety, isn’t that enough?

Answer: The rule say that if you employ 11 or more employees on the same shift at the same location, you must establish a safety committee. The safety committee should consist of more employees than management, and more members that are elected by the other employees rather than selected by management. If you employ 10 or less employees’ than a monthly safety meeting must occur.
