A written record of the safety committee meetings must be agreed upon by the committee leaders, posted in a workplace location for workers to read, and kept on file for a minimum of (5) years. Leadership Team leads should be rotated to ensure wide spread participation and renew the energy of each team. Assignments should be 1-2 years in length. 6 6
