Abstract
There has been renewed interest in forms of employee participation in the United Kingdom. This paper examines aspects of one such form-employee participation in joint health and safety committees. After surveying the moves from a voluntarist to a statute based system of committees, the paper assesses the impact of recent UK legislation in creating new committees in manufacturing industry. Using data from a survey of 51 such committees the nature of employee participation and the relationship between employee representatives and the workforce is examined. Potential conflict between efficiency and democracy is probed, and weaknesses in the relationship between committee members and the shop floor are discussed.
