Responding to Recommendations
How Should the Employer Respond to a JHSC Recommendation?
The response to the recommendation must be submitted to the JHSC in writing. There are three ways
the employer can respond:
1. Accept the recommendation and take action
2. Decide to use an alternative solution that meets the need and take action
3. Decline the recommendation and take no action
When the employer accepts the recommendation as proposed, the JHSC can expect to receive a response
that details:
ƒ The proposed recommendation
ƒ What is accepted
ƒ The goal
ƒ A time frame
ƒ The management person assigned to complete key activities
If the employer responds negatively to the recommendation or with a revised proposed solution,
the written response must clearly explain the decision to the JHSC.
