Sure, I can help you with that. The roles and responsibilities of an HR safety officer typically include developing and implementing safety policies and procedures, conducting safety training for employees, performing safety inspections and audits, investigating accidents and incidents, and ensuring compliance with safety regulations. Additionally, HR safety officers often collaborate with management to create a safe work environment and promote a culture of safety within the organization.
