Who is NOT a member of the safety committee?

The Chief Operations Officer is typically not a member of the safety committee due to the specific roles and responsibilities outlined for committee members. Safety committees are usually composed of personnel who have direct responsibilities related to safety, health, and compliance management within the unit or organization.

The XO (Executive Officer), Supply Officer, and Medical Officer are all positions that possess the necessary insight and authority to address safety protocols and practices. The XO often has oversight of operations and can play a crucial role in enforcing safety standards. The Supply Officer handles logistics, which can directly impact safety through proper equipment management and resource allocation. The Medical Officer is essential for assessing health and safety risks and ensuring compliance with medical safety regulations.

On the other hand, the Chief Operations Officer, although integral to the organization, typically focuses on broader operational oversight rather than specific safety-related issues, thus making them less likely to be included as a key member of the safety committee. This delineation of roles highlights the importance of having safety committee members who can actively contribute to and enforce safety measures.
