Where this committee focuses
Your people go home safe only when serious-injury risks are found first, in the field, in vehicles and in the work zone.
The Employee Health and Safety Committee strengthens safety performance across the industry by coordinating member-driven safety initiatives, sharing critical safety information and creating practical resources that help members identify emerging risks, improve controls and reinforce a strong safety culture.
Who you’ll work alongside
- Corporate and field safety managers and specialists
- Fleet-safety and telematics program managers
- Contractor-safety coordinators
- Operations supervisors who lead job briefings and stop-work practice
- Safety trainers, including those delivering OSHA 10 and 30
- Emergency-response and incident-management staff
What you take back to work
- For you. Practical field controls compared across companies, such as lone-worker devices, bump-cap trials and emergency medical response readiness.
- For your company. Incident and telematics benchmarks that show where a company stands against peers.
The committee is where operator safety professionals test what works in the field and turn it into shared guidance. Its SIF terminology work and survey redesign are the efforts most likely to give member companies comparable, decision-useful safety data. Executive encouragement of survey responses at member companies makes that benchmark stronger.
What members worked through in 2026
- Building a shared language for SIF prevention. Serious injury and fatality (SIF) prevention was the committee’s chosen 2026 one-pager topic, following telematics and safe driving.
- Making the incident survey a credible benchmark. Members worked on making the incident survey simpler and more visible so more operators can take part and the benchmark grows stronger.
- Peer exchange on field hazards and controls. Much of the practical value came from members' own questions.
- Conferences, telematics and engagement. The committee shaped Safety & Training Conference programming, including a telematics roundtable co-moderated by committee members, building on its telematics one-pager work.
What came out of it: 2025 Incident Experience Survey and findings package (executive one-pager, presentation and heat-map dataset, used at a Safety Conference roundtable). A simpler version for the next cycle is in development.
Where the work goes in 2027
A simpler incident survey more operators can take part in, SIF prevention guidance and live virtual sessions on stop-work authority and lone-worker safety.
