Joint Loss Management Committee

Mission Statement

Every employee in the Town of Jaffrey has the right to a workplace free from occupational safety and health hazards. A Loss Prevention Management Program is designed to prevent accidents and injuries/illnesses, and is established jointly between labor and management representatives. The purpose of the Joint Loss Management Committee shall be to conduct research, develop recommendations, and study and review matters pertaining to occupational safety and health within the Town of Jaffrey. The committee shall hold regularly scheduled meetings and shall be permitted to hold special meetings whenever necessary. Written minutes of each meeting shall be retained, and shall be made available to all Town employees.

Unsafe acts, unsafe conditions and accidents all demonstrate a weakness in the Town’s organizational system. This program provides the framework for safety to be managed like any other function; through planning, organizing, leadership and control. A well trained and properly supervised employee in a safe and healthful environment is less likely to have an accident.

Pursuant to NH RSA 281-A:64 III - every employer of 15 or more employees shall establish and administer a joint loss management committee composed of equal numbers of employer and employee representatives.
