The four main places to help promote the implemention of your plan are:

Health and safety committee
These may have recognised trade union (and appointed) representatives, where the health and safety reps may be H,S and Environment Reps. These are consultative committees usually defined in law.

Works Council
Works Councils are set up to involve representatives from all employees. These are usually negotiating committees and have have power to make decisions.

Team
Team working and human resource management carries no legal or bargaining commitment but often has high levels of involvement and ability to make changes.


Environmental Action Group
This is a special, separate committee with people committed to environmental change. There will not be any legal requirements for this committee. Its role and power can be almost anything, from key players in environmental management systems, to a campaigning group.
