- Committees must be made up of employer and employee representatives, with employee representatives being chosen by their peers;
- Committees must meet regularly, at least once every four months;
- More than one committee may be required if the employer has multiple work sites.

- Assessing and controlling hazards;
- Assessing the company’s safety training and awareness;
- Developing safety rules, policies, and procedures;
- Educating employees on safety topics;
