New Guide An Essential Tool for Human Resources
|
|
Human Resources (HR) is often associated with hiring, firing, and paycheque issues, but in many organizations, the range of issues and responsibilities they deal with can be broad and complex. The HR department’s responsibilities often include workplace health and safety - everything from developing workplace policies, to meeting the health and safety training needs of their employees. The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety’s new guide offers help!
CCOHS’ new health and safety publication is designed specifically for people who have responsibilities related to human resources management. Health and Safety Guide for Human Resources Professionals is a 150 page, pocket-sized handbook packed full of practical information, to serve as an essential resource for human resources managers, coordinators, specialists, and other HR professionals.
The guide assists human resources (HR) professionals in fulfilling their workplace health and safety responsibilities and complying with health and safety legislation. Readers are provided with the information they need to incorporate workplace health and safety in human resources management practices. Topics covered in the guide include how to prevent work related injuries and illnesses, foster a heath and safety culture, maintain records of injuries, illnesses and workers’ compensation, and ensure that policies and procedures comply with occupational health and safety legislation.
Health and Safety Guide for Human Resources Professionals is the seventeenth addition to this compact, easy-to-follow CCOHS Pocket Guide series. The pocket guides are available for $10 each. Discounts offered on bulk purchases make these publications an even more affordable and accessible resource. A French-language edition of the guide is planned for publication later this year.
