The First Safety Committee

July 30, 2010

Glenn Demby, Esq.

Q: Who invented the safety committee?

A: Apparently, the first safety committee was established by George Eastman at Eastman Kodak in 1911. At least that’s the first reference to a safety committee I could find. If any of you SafetyXChange members know of an earlier example, please e-mail me at glennd@bongarde.com and we’ll print a correction.
