Focus Committee Form Template

A focus committee form for running a cross-topic review meeting that promotes awareness of health and safety, quality, environmental and information security management and builds two-way communication between management and staff. It structures the review of each area, captures suggestions, and records the actions raised.

Consulting and involving workers is both good practice and a requirement of ISO 45001, and a focus committee is a practical way to do it across an integrated system. This form gives you the agenda, the record and the action list for that consultation, and comes with detailed guidance notes on running the committee.

Built for Worker Consultation

The form captures what an effective focus committee needs:

• Review of health and safety, quality, environmental and information security arrangements
• Space for issues, concerns and suggestions in each area
• A management review and approval section
• An actions list capturing items raised and action taken

What's Included in this Focus Committee Form

The form is set out to run the meeting and record its outcomes:

• Header - date, committee lead, contributors and any agenda items
• Review sections - health and safety, quality, environmental and information security, each with review and suggestions
• Review and approval - management sign-off and the date of the next review
• Actions and guidance - items raised with action taken, plus detailed notes on running the committee

Who Needs a Focus Committee Form?

Any organisation that wants genuine two-way consultation with its workforce benefits from a focus committee. It suits any business running an integrated management system, and supports the consultation and participation requirements of ISO 45001 and the wider standards.

Pairs with the Management Review

The committee findings feed upward into the F-Q3 Management Review, so shop-floor input reaches top management.
