This response shall either include a timetable for implementing the recommendations, or the reasons for not agreeing with the recommendation. Joint health and safety committee composition and training: section 9(1) establishes that some workplaces are exempt from the requirement to have. These include projects which will last fewer than three months (remember the precise definition of project to understand this), and any workplaces that are exempt by specific regulations.
