Define details for the mixed committee, including class, representatives, location, and objectives.

In Mexican companies, a mixed committee, Comisión Mixta de Seguridad e Higiene, is formed to oversee health and safety processes and investigate work-related accidents. A similar mixed committee, Comisión Mixta de Capacitación, is formed to oversee the training and development process for employees.

The mixed committee is made up of an equal number of employee and employer representatives and is selected annually. When the committee is formed, the group defines its working objectives, functions, and mechanisms.

The mixed committee for health and safety investigates the causes of work-related accidents, reviews legal decisions, registers violations of the legal decisions, and recommends health and safety preventative measures.

You can enter the information for a health and safety mixed committee on the Mixed Committee page.

After you define the details for a health and safety mixed committee, there is an additional step. If a safety incident occurs on the job, record it on the Incident Details page.

Defining Training Legal Requirements

There are specific legal forms for the formation of the mixed committee. The Department of Labor (STPS) can audit all the information that is related to the mixed committee and its formation (STPS Form DC-1).

Submit the committee formation and definition of the training plan to the STPS through Form DC-2.

After training is complete, the company can issue labor ability certificates to employees. Each employee who completes a course or event receives a certificate (STPS Form DC-3) and a copy is sent to the STPS.

You can now generate all the STPS reports that are used to track employee training.

Use the Mixed Committee MEX page (MIX_COM_TBL_MEX) to define details for the mixed committee, including class, representatives, location, and objectives.
