ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS OF ATTAINING THIS OBJECTIVE, MR HAMMOND POINTED OUT, WAS THE SETTING UP OF A JOINT SAFETY COMMITTEE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF MANAGEMENT AND WORKERS AT THE PLANT LEVEL.
IN SUCH A COMMITTEE CONSULTATIONS BETWEEN MANAGEMENT AND WORKERS ON ALL MATTERS CONCERNING WORK SAFETY SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT. THE COMMITTEE MIGHT ALSO BE GIVEN CERTAIN RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE FORMULATION OF SAFETY POLICY AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION.
THE FACTORY INSPECTORATE OF THE LABOUR DEPARTMENT WAS ALWAYS WILLING TO GIVE ADVICE ON THE SETTING UP OF SUCH COMMITTEES AND TO MAINTAIN CONTACT WITH THEM IN A JOINT EFFORT TO IMPROVE WORK SAFETY, MR HAMMOND ADDED.
