Joint Health and Safety Committees

Joint Health and Safety Committees (JHSCs) are groups formed in workplaces to promote safety and health. They typically consist of representatives from both management and employees. The committee's main goal is to identify potential hazards, suggest improvements, and ensure compliance with health and safety regulations. By working together, the committee fosters a culture of safety, encouraging communication about risks and preventive measures. JHSCs play a crucial role in protecting workers' well-being and enhancing workplace safety standards through regular meetings, training, and assessments.
