Articles For HR Professionals With Safety Responsibilities

These days, we often find that HR professionals also have safety responsibilities –

• At many medium and small-sized companies, managers will wear two hats.  For example, the HR manager may be responsible for both HR duties and administering the occupational safety and health program.
• At some larger sized companies, the safety manager will report to the HR director.

In either of the above two scenarios, the HR director (or manager) will need to have a broad knowledge of the field of safety and health.
