Know Your Safety Obligations Under OSHA For HR Professionals
Duration: 90 minutes
Speaker: Teri Morning
Webinar Description
COVID-19 suddenly forced many HR professionals, who were never in safety roles, to learn workplace safety obligations. That’s not going to be changing any time soon. Office workers may never have even given safety a thought. But now they find themselves having to suddenly learn safety requirements as a body of new knowledge and then trying to apply that new knowledge to all sorts of safety issues in the workplace. Add in workers compensation considerations and It’s even harder. If you find it overwhelming and confusing, that just means you’re taking it as seriously as you should.
