Risk, Safety and Health Legislation (HRCI-PHR/SPHR)

The Risk Management: Organizational Risk, Safety and Health Legislation course is the 19th of 20 courses developed as part of the Human Resources Certification Program.

This course focuses on the HR professional's involvement with various aspects of risk management, especially people risk. Areas of risk management we'll cover include business continuity risk, the risks associated with not complying with employment laws, employee health, safety, and security regulations such as OSHA and workplace privacy laws.

The risk management process and risk management strategies regarding business continuity, planning, and liability insurance will be examined as well. And then we'll discuss a few other important regulations that HR professionals should be aware of as part of their risk management responsibilities.

In topic one, Organizational Risk Management, you'll learn what is necessary to develop, monitor, and test business continuity and disaster recovery plans and how to communicate and train employees on those plans.

While the process of business continuity planning is a natural extension of disaster recovery planning, the two processes are not the same. In topic two, Business Continuity and Liability Insurance, you'll further expand your knowledge of business continuity and disaster recovery plans including data storage and back up, alternative work locations, the related procedures, as well as the various types of insurance available to mitigate common business risks.

Employers must take appropriate personnel action when apparent drug-related cases arise.

In topic four, Other Workplace Safety and Security Legislation, we'll expand our regulatory discussions to include other federal laws and regulations related to workplace health, safety, security, and privacy. These will include the Drug-Free Workplace Act, the ADA, HIPPA, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
