ABSTRACT
Human resources and safety have been getting progressively more integrated over the past several years. Whether it is because of the cost of the bottom line or the thought that safety culture can only get so far without the help of human resources and vice versa. This chapter helps the reader to set a foundation for cultural change to build a strong safety program. Depending on the size of the facility, juggling both duties can be difficult for one person and will adversely affect the facility, potentially causing higher incident rates, workers compensation claims, and poor employee morale. As a safety professional, one should encounters some heated situations when trying to correct unsafe acts or rolling out a new safety program that changes the way employees conduct day-to-day work.
