WORKER INVOLVEMENT<br />

Key issues covered include: setting up and running safety<br />

<strong>com</strong>mittees; seminars and presentations; and management<br />

training programmes.<br />

An actively engaged workforce is one of the foundations of any <strong>com</strong>pany’s health and<br />

safety strategy. It ensures that all those involved with a work activity<br />

are participating in managing the risks.<br />

Workers are most at risk of having accidents or experiencing ill health, and they also<br />

know the most about the jobs that they do. Workers are in the best position to help<br />

managers develop effective and successful safe systems of work.<br />

““Workers who are encouraged to have a voice and are given the ability to influence<br />

health and safety are safer and healthier than those who do not. A universally involved<br />

and consulted workforce would be a major achievement and contribute to getting health<br />

”<br />

and safety recognised as a ‘cornerstone of a civilised society.’”<br />
