Answer to Question 1

The most effective committees are those with a broad cross-section of workers representing all departments. This offers two advantages: 1) it gives each member of the committee a constituent group for which he or she is responsible, and 2) it gives all employees a representative voice on the committee.

Answer to Question 2

One of the keys to promoting safety successfully is to involve employees. They usually know better than anyone where hazards exist. In addition, they are the ones who must follow safety rules. A fundamental rule of management is if you want employees to make a commitment, involve them from the start. One of the most effective strategies for getting employees to commit to the safety program is to involve them in the development of it. Employees should also be involved in the implementation, monitoring, and follow-up. In all phases, employees should be empowered to take action to improve safety. The most effective safety program is one that employees view as their program.
