Changing requirements of safety/health education in industry (U)
This commentary reviews for the safety/health educator how a business manager must achieve efficient production and presents the idea that on-the-job safety/health concerns must be integrated into this efficient production process. A success story of how a major division of one corporation has achieved an enviable occupational safety/health record with input from its own cadre of safety/health professional is discussed. However, this same organization has not achieved the same success with off-the-job injuries and illnesses. It is in this latter area that industry needs help from the safety/health education professional - namely, give the future employee the tools with which to judge the risk of living with potential technological hazards so that society as a whole can benefit.
