Which committee includes labor, union representatives and service contractors, holds monthly meetings, and submits minutes to the Director with copy to the Regional Director?

• A. Central Safety and Health Committee
• B. Labor Relations Committee
• C. Mine Safety Council
• D. Employee Safety Forum

Answer: (A)

The situation describes a formal safety body that represents both workers and those who work on site as contractors, meets on a regular, monthly schedule, and reports its minutes up the organizational chain. That combination—labor and union representation plus service contractor participation, regular monthly meetings, and a requirement to submit minutes to the Director with a copy to the Regional Director—defines a central safety and health governance body. The Central Safety and Health Committee is designed to bring together labor, union representatives, and service contractors to review safety and health issues and ensure oversight through documented minutes filed with the Director and shared with the Regional Director. Other committees tend to have narrower focuses, such as negotiating labor relations, advising on industry-wide safety matters, or serving as an employee forum, and do not typically carry the same specific mix of participants or the exact reporting path to the Director and Regional Director.
