Hey everyone. I recently excepted a safety position with a software dev. company. The workforce is largely hybrid/remote. I’m having a hard time finding items to address. I’ve been given the opportunity to shape the role but can’t seem to bring value in a way that was easily seen in higher risk professions such as construction. Do any of you have some resources I can draw upon? All questions and answers are welcome.

So, if it was me and I was in your shoes. I would start looking at ergonomics as I’m guessing since employees work remotely they need to make sure their home office set up is ergonomically correct. Also, record keeping and if there is a home office I would perform walkthroughs. Anything from electrical, tripping hazards, objects in aisle ways and in front of electrical disconnects and exit doors is where you can start at.

For references look at the National Safety Council for tips and things that may apply to your work place.

Thanks for the help. I will check out the NSC website.

Remote- office based: emergency evacuation planning, drills, first responders, security/ site protection, active shooter training. Develop a matrix to determine what is needed in regards to written programs and training, based on regs and work off that. Also can build a “compliance tracker/calendar”
Hope these help a tad!

Update: This position is not occupational in the least. What they posted for versus what they are expecting is vastly different. The role is process safety in a tech/code setting.

Process safety? Since it’s tech/code I’m guessing it isn’t chemical processing.

Yuck
