Developing Safety Management Policies:

Evaluate the workplace environment and develop safety-management policies that identify and define the safety responsibilities of all employees. This involves assessing the nature of business activities, number of employees and existing policies. A HSE manager working for a beverage manufacturer, for instance, develops a policy that requires workers to report situations that present a risk and which they can't properly deal with on their own. A good safety management policy provides for adequate medical treatment and compensation for workplace injuries.

Coordinating Training Programs:

continually maintain an appropriate level of awareness, knowledge and preparedness across the organization, HSE managers coordinate training programs for employees. A HSE manager working in a construction company, for example, has a duty to educate workers about site-specific safety measures. For instance, if the company is building a radio tower, the HSE manager might train workers to deal with potential hazards, such as accidental exposure to high amounts of radio frequency energy and electrical faults.


Investigating Workplace Incidents:

investigates incidents, establishes the causes and recommends preventive action against a recurrence. Also ensure that workplace tools and equipment meet industry standards and installed properly, as defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Preparing Reports

Prepares monthly reports and makes presentations to senior administrators. included workplace inspection results and workers' response to safety incidents, disposal of waste materials, maintenance of medical equipment and response of new health care staff to HSE policies.
