When all attendees understand their roles and responsibility before, during and after the meeting, a positive synergy is created. The group process technique focuses on the goals of the safety committee and creates a shared vision to achieve success effectively and efficiently by its members.

• Arrive at meetings on time. If you are late, enter quietly
• Arrange to stay until the end of the meeting
• Attend not only in body, but in mind and spirit
• Come prepared to discuss important issues
• Suggest agenda items
• Demonstrate peer pressure on members to control excessive talking and other inappropriate behavior
• Share ideas in an open, non-aggressive manner
• Discuss complaints in the meeting and not sabotage efforts outside
• Do not allow the authority positions of other attendees to intimidate you into silence during the meeting
• Support group decisions once an action has been decided upon
• Refrain from complaining about other attendees or the group when outside the meeting.
• Complete any tasks that were assigned or volunteered to complete on time

Until next time...
Be safe and spread the word.

Sincerely,
Dr. Isabel Perry
