Safety and Health Committees

Section 31-40v of the general statutes “Establishment of safety and health committees by certain employers” requires that every covered employer administer a safety and health committee to promote safety and health in places of employment in this state. The purpose of this regulation is to specify rules for establishing and administering committees which will bring employers and employees together in a non-adversarial, cooperative and effective effort to promote safety and health at each work site.

The Department of Administrative Services, consistent with our mission, provides policy leadership, strategies, and services for state agencies to utilize in complying with C.G.S. Section 31-40v.
