This metric is based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G4 Guidelines.G4-LA5 - ‘Percentage of total workforce represented in formal joint management–worker health and safety committees that help monitor and advise on occupational health and safety programs’. This disclosure is broader than depicted within the metric description. It also asks for:

G4-L5-a. The level at which each formal joint management-worker health and safety committee typically operates within the
organization.

A health and safety committee with joint representation can facilitate a positive health and safety culture. The use of committees is one way to involve workers in driving the improvement of occupational health and safety in the workplace. This indicator provides one measure of the extent to which the workforce is actively involved in health and safety.
