Based on my work experiences in incident investigation assignments, I would confidently say that by having a well-trained, organized, empowered and energized Safety and Health Committee (SHC), these 3 critical issues of 1) work safety, employees' health and working environment in the workplace can be kept in the forefront of the minds of the leadership, management and employees; and be considered as much a core value as production, quality and employees' satisfaction.
True enough, SHC differs from industry to industry and workplace to workplace. But certain characteristics are common for success such as:
☑️ [1] Audit safety training programs.
☑️ [2] Develop, organise and achieve monthly, quarterly, and annual safety goals.
☑️ [3] Inspect, monitor and advise on matters like work hazards, risk to employees for accidents, incidents, and anticipated injuries.
☑️ [4] Perform and analyze accident investigation, prepare reports and determine root causes as well as propose the counter meaures.
◾Among the biggest challenges for SHC which I've encountered thoughout my duties are:
➡️1) the members of SHC are not very confident to EXTRACT and EXTRAPOLATE critical information when conducting incident investigation work. They might perform the interviewing process, reviewing the SOPs, visiting the incident sites. But when come to the critical phase of conducting RCA (root cause analysis), they are not getting the right results.
➡️2) inability to determine important or significant information after completing the RAM (Risk Assessment Matrix) for JSA (Job Safety Analysis) or HIRARC (Hazards Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control) duties.
My suggestion is for the leadership to review these matters and to ensure the SHC members are well-trained and well-equipped to perform their tasks as mandated by the OSHA 2022 Laws.
Abdul Shukor.
