For those with US headquarters, where does 'traditional' Health & Safety sit in your organisation? My US benefits team is increasingly being asked about ergonomic assessments / training / equipment and workers comp/employer liability insurances and both seem to sit only loosely with Facilities and the Risk & Compliance teams.
Added to this are requests for OH assessments in other global locations - either due to health issues or ergonomic working.
In my view, working safely is not a benefit, but I am aware that in the US the H&S role does not exist in the way it does here! I'd love some contemporary feedback on the topic as increased home working is firmly on the agenda.
