Division Safety Committee

The Division Safety Committee monitors the implementation of ESD's ES&H program, identifies opportunities for improvement, advises the Division Director on ES&H issues, facilitates communication of ES&H issues throughout the Division, and supports self-assessment activities, etc. Should any need for change arise in the Division's implementation of integrated safety management, the committee will discuss the matter and make recommendations to the Division Director. The Committee identifies important issues at each meeting for distribution as ESD-level 1 emails. The Committee generally meets on a monthly basis, but at least six times per year.

The Chair of the Safety Committee will organize meetings, set agendas, and record and publish meeting minutes, which will be distributed to the Division Director, Department Heads, Program Heads, Division Council Members, Division Safety Committee Members, and posted on ESD's ES&H website.

The normal term on the committee will be 3 years.

The Division thanks all of the former and continuing members of this committee for their service in this important capacity.

To learn more, please review ESD's Integrated Safety Management Plan (ISM).
