Federal OSH Job Description Should Better Reflect Today's Role, ASSE Says

摘要

It's been 32 years since the federal employee job classification for the GS-0018 Safety and Occupational Health Management job series was updated. That's way too long, ASSE says in calling on the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to accept recent recommendations to update the qualifications to better reflect the job's increased responsibilities. Federal Advisory Council on Occupational Safety and Health (FACOSH) has recommended that OPM: 1.Delete the option of using experience alone as a qualification and require education and/or professional certification such as the CSP, CIH or certified health physicist.
