"Their input into safety procedures, selection of PPE, and other decisions that affect their own personal safety is paramount. You can do this through a Safety Action Team. Delegates are selected by the employees or are volunteers. My favorite team members are the ones who are outspoken. This team is guided by the safety professional and top manager in the company, but it is not directed by them. Team decisions can be overruled, but you need a good reason and a full explanation.

..the thoughts of George M. Shirley, a safety consultant from Louisiana.
