I wanted to send a friendly reminder to safety committee chairpersons and members that your 2023 safety committee minutes need to be submitted to NIRMA by 5:00 p.m. Central, Wednesday, January 31st, 2024, if your committee would like to be eligible for the 2023 Money for Minutes drawing.
The Money for Minutes eligibility requirements are as follows:
- Conduct at least one safety committee meeting per quarter during the calendar year.
- Discuss all incidents, events, injuries, and accidents and make recommendations about how to prevent reoccurrence of similar events.
- Submit minutes from each meeting, containing recommendations, to NIRMA for review.
If your safety committee meets the requirements as outlined above, your committee’s name will be entered into a drawing for one of the TEN $500.00 awards. The award winners will be announced in February of 2023. Good luck to those committees that take the safety of their employees seriously and made the commitment to hold at least four quarterly safety committee meetings.
