Each safety committee meeting must be documented. These minutes will summarize
the committee’s activities. They should be posted in a designated place on the
employee bulletin board, and a copy will be given to management. While the minutes
do not need to be typed or conform to any strict format, they should, at a minimum,
include the names of the persons attending along with the following items:
Recommended Agenda:
• Review of previous meeting minutes and status of recommendations.
• Recent facility inspection(s) with action items — include date, time, list of the
inspection items, and names of inspector(s) and person(s) responsible for
completing the action items.
• Next scheduled inspection — include date, time and inspector(s) assigned.
• Review of injuries and incident trends, along with recommendations for
improvements, including timeline to implement the recommendations and
person(s) responsible.
• Review of suggestions received from employees along with recommended
action(s).
• Previous safety training (with feedback if applicable) and recommendations for
upcoming training topics.
• Other miscellaneous safety items.
You can use the template provided for documenting the minutes of each meeting.
