As a general rule, I believe Human Resource Departments are little more than company preservation mechanisms, and I believe there are companies - management and HR departments - who seek to turn safety departments into HR departments 2.0

This is wrong, and as a safety manager myself, I strongly advocate for genuine, authentic, and intentional safety professionals who aren't just about keeping incidents down. While that IS a goal, it should not be pursued at the expense of a genuine safety culture.

Safety is NOT HR 2.0 - and it never should be.
