When you think of the types of organizations that emphasize workplace health, safety, and security, what types of companies come to mind? Manufacturing facilities? Office environments? Restaurants? Construction? It’s a trick question – organizations across all industries should be focused on providing a healthy, safe, and secure environment for their employees, customers, and vendors.

What is HR’s role in health, safety, and security?

Human Resources should provide processes, procedures, programs, and training that help to minimize or eliminate your workplace safety and security risks, ensure recordkeeping compliance with OSHA standards, and foster the overall health and well-being of your employees.
