Who Should Handle OSHA: HR or Group Safety? Plus, Tips on Setting Up Your Own OSHA Unit

Dear HR colleagues,

I need to have some clarification on the following:

1. Should OSHA be the responsibility of the HR department, or should it be under the "Group Safety" department?
2. How do we set up an OSHA unit/department in our organization? What criteria are needed?
3. How do we construct the OSHA manual/policy?

I would really appreciate it if any experts here could share a sample manual for my reference. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks.

Regards,
Yanny.

Actually, it comes under the safety department. In companies where there is no safety department, OSHA falls under HR.

I just want to know about points that can be discussed in the health and safety committee in a manufacturing company.
