Health & safety managers taking on the environment
23 January 2013
New research from NEBOSH has suggested that more than half of health and safety managers are now responsible for managing environmental issues at work.
New research from NEBOSH has suggested that more than half of health and safety managers are now responsible for managing environmental issues at work.
NEBOSH (The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health) analysed one hundred job adverts for health and safety management roles.. Over half (55%) of the advertised positions mentioned responsibility for environmental management.
And while the majority of vacancies were for "health and safety managers" or "health and safety advisers," a large proportion of the jobs advertised (42%) included "environmental" within the job titles - such as "Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) Manager" and "Health, Safety, Environmental and Quality (HSEQ) Manager."
"We've seen a dramatic change in the role of health and safety manager in the past ten years," said NEBOSH chief executive, Teresa Budworth.
"Environmental management has become a key part of the job, and a demand for knowledge of quality and compliance management is beginning to emerge too†www.nebosh.org.uk.
