Hi friends, esteemed colleagues, comrades, I have a favour to ask and yes I have been on the world wide web before asking the question, so if that is all you have to say, save your energy. I am looking for examples of terms of reference for H&S committee, I know this is the lazy way, but why invent the wheel.

We have: The committee manages the processes (including procedures) which are intended to ensure the health, safety and welfare of all UK-based XXXXX staff (contract, permanent or members) and the processes which are intended to ensure that staff meet statutory duties relating to safety (eg CDM Regulations). The committee is the mechanism by which any UK-based member of staff can raise matters of concern relating to health safety or welfare - any member of staff may discuss any such matter with any member of the committee. The committee will also identify and disseminate information (including best practice) relating to health, safety and welfare to enable all staff (worldwide) to discharge their duties effectively. The rest is fairly specific to our management structure - we have different boards, and historically we've been divided into 'groups' which target work in specific sectors. Some of these have specific safety requirements. We also have overseas offices who are mostly fairly self-sufficient. The committee shall normally comprise at least two directors (at least one of which is a member of the executive board), at least one representative from each office in the UK, at least one representative from the AAA Group, at least one representative from the BBB Group. One person may fulfil multiple 'representative' roles. The committee acts with authority delegated from the Executive Board, and shall delegate authority and responsibility as appropriate. The committee reports to the Management Board, tabling a report to every regular meeting of the board. In offices outside the UK, a person or committee shall be designated with an equivalent role. Such person shall manage local processes (including procedures) where possible in line with the guidance from the UK safety committee, but having proper cognisance of local statute and practice. Such person shall report regularly to the UK director with particular responsibility for Health and Safety, who shall report to the Management Board as appropriate.
