Occupational, Health, Safety and Environment - OHS&E is a term that generally applies to a specialist function that may report to HR, it really is contextual depending on the industry generally. Picture a steel factory, the heat, danger, opportunities for injury versus a small insurance company, quite a contrast, however, both require a consideration of Health, Safety and Environment believe it or not. From a simple consideration of the way people are sitting in and on their chairs (economics), time spent at a computer to fully blown safety policies, systems, standards and records. You often see this on building sites, ‘0 safety incidents’, zero incidents are a badge of pride - all of these reflect your organisation’s consideration for the employees or contractors hired to perform. Irrespective of the industry or context, it is clear that there are current themes and evidence around wellbeing and mental health that demands a fresh review of the contribution HR has in this area. As a general rule my approach is to consider any potential HR intervention relating to health and/or wellbeing as being out of scope and requires a decision regarding what support the organisation will provide, e.g. counselling.
