| Abstract | The disciplines of Safety Management and Risk Management are often thought to be independent. It is the goal of this article to not only dispel that notion, but to further the idea that they are essentially the same discipline with comparable goals. By better understanding both disciplines, an integration of the two can, and should, occur which will allow for overall better management of risk and a reduction in workplace losses. Integrations are after all, inevitable. Witness the merging of the once independent disciplines of Environmental Management, Safety Management and Occupational Health Management from the 1970’s and 1980’s to become Environmental Safety and Health in the 21 century. Which leads to the most important point of the article, and that is, Safety Professionals are in the best position to take over these integrated duties and lead their organization(s) in their efforts to identify, analyze and manage risk better than anyone else in the field. |
