Well- people who get hurt at work due to unsafe conditions or improper training go out on disability, correct? And the HR person coordinates disability leaves, claims against the company and keeps the legal records regarding accidents and incidence in the workplace. And that is the tip of the iceberg.

It is a requirement for all companies to follow the regulations from the Occupation safety and health administration (OSHA). Depending upon the size and organization of the company, this is handled by several areas. Many companies put all issues dealing with employee into the human resource department. Sometimes it is in engineering especially industrial engineering. HR often is responsible for health and safety since it directly affects the employee. Even in companies where there is others envolved, HR usually is at least a part of the safety committee.
