Posted By Merv Newman I would ask each MD to give a brief report on safety activities at his/her site, particularly concentrating on the good things they are doing to improve safety, problems solved, initiatives and so on. Remember : Accidents are learning experiences. Preventing accidents makes money (or at least keeps it within the company) You can start off by presenting overall stats, then go around the table. After the go round you can present any recommendations you may have - new initiatives, legislation, best practice and so on - for discussion by the group. This committee may not be a decision making group so any decisions/recommendations coming out of the discussion may have to validated later on. I would ask the chairperson to close the meeting with a few well-chosen, motivational words By the way, who chairs this meeting ? You or the senior manager present ? I think it should be his/her meeting, not yours. I've often tacked management H&S meetings onto pre-existing meetings. Most management groups already get together at least once a month. Including H&S in the agenda usually works out fine. And, strangely enough, does not lengthen the meeting by much. Merv
