Committees

We acknowledge, with grateful thanks, the many hours these individuals donate to the Association. Their companies have made a commitment to industrial safety and health that is recognized and appreciated. Through their efforts, and the efforts of all members, the safety record in our industry is continuing to improve.

Committee Chairs are encouraged to review these responsibilities periodically and re-write them, as necessary.

Members are encouraged to provide feedback to the committees either by contacting the chairs directly. Contact PPSA to join a committee.
