Employer Responsibilities - Involve Employees

Promoting employee involvement has several benefits, including the following:

• Enhanced worker motivation and job satisfaction
• Enhanced problem-solving capabilities
• Greater acceptance of change
• Greater knowledge of the work processes and organization

Worker input helps employers define real and potential hazards and provides suggestions for hazard control. Employers can involve employees through participation in a joint labor-management safety and health committee, a task force, or a work group. These committees and work groups can be a company-wide or department-wide.
