It is also preferable that the committee is comprised of employee members from various roles or responsibilities or locations from across the business (if there is more than one site). This is to ensure that there is wide ranging knowledge and expertise to contribute to the HSC and any decisions that the HSC may make.<\/p><p>A diverse membership also means that the HSC processes can draw on a broad range of skills, for example policy development, physical, plant or production perspectives, financial authority, and technical systems of work. The employer should ensure that they include a senior level leader that has the authority to make decisions around budgets and expenditure.<\/p><p>HSC&#8217;s function in the workplace is to facilitate employers and employees working together to develop a safety culture and associated processes and protocols. The HSC will typically be tasked with performing risk assessments in the work environment, reviewing safety policies and procedures, reviewing incident or injury reports, responding to reports of safety concerns, communicating to all staff regarding health and safety, and ultimately contributing to ensuring the health and safety of employees in the workplace.<\/p><p>The size of the HSC and how often they meet may depend on the type of work being carried out in your workplace, the degree of risk, and the size of your organisation or operation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b3056f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b3056f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>Want to understand workplace safety better?
