The Social and Economic Committee carries out regular inspections of health, safety and working conditions. It conducts investigations into accidents at work and occupational or work-related illnesses. The committee may ask to hear the manager of a neighbouring company whose activities expose workers within its remit to particular nuisances. It is informed of the action taken on its observations.
The committee may call on the assistance of any person in the company who it deems qualified, on an occasional advisory basis.
