Safety and health committeesManitoba’s Workplace Safety and Health Act and Regulations require employers with 20 employees or more to establish a workplace safety and health committee. A safety and health representative is required when there are five to nineteen employees. The primary role of a workplace safety and health committee is to work with employers to prevent workplace injuries. Committees also act as the go-between for workers and management for occupational health and safety concerns, make recommendations to management to improve workplace safety and health, and assist in preventing injuries and illnesses at the workplace or on the job site. A workplace safety and health representative performs many of the same duties as a committee. EmployersIt's important to recognize that even though committees have these duties, the employer is still responsible for workplace safety and health.Learn moreCreating a workplace safety and health committeeUnderstand the basics about creating a safety and health committee and available training.Learn moreInspections and investigationsA workplace safety and health committee has inspection and incident investigation responsibilities.Learn moreSafety SwapShare new information on safety and health topics from experts at committee meetings.Learn moreRelated linksSAFE Work Awards
