Newsletter outlines structure and role of joint health and safety committee

The University’s central safety committee, an advisory group of worker and management representatives, meets regularly to identify workplace health and safety hazards and recommend strategies to eliminate or minimize such hazards.

The October issue of Safety in Mind, the UWindsor health and safety newsletter, outlines the committee’s structure and its powers under the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act.

Safety in Mind is distributed online but formatted for printing and posting in work areas and on bulletin boards. Read the entire newsletter on the health and safety Web site.
