Hi all, my Job title is being changed from loss control advisor to team leader safety and environment, I have been trying to research if this changes my legal obligations as a safety professional. I have heard there is but cant not find a definition of legal responsibilities. Please can anyone shed some light on this.

Question;-
Has your Job description changed?
If it has - legal obligations may have changed
If it hasn't - no change to obligations - BUT, do you know what they are anyway?

My job description can not be provided to me, i have always work on an advisory role, so i will advisory the company of leagal requirements and best practise, but it is there call wether to take the advice or not. Being a Team leader in my eyes has different meaning as this is a tell and do role/supervisary or manager.

Are you in a staff job or contract/freelance?
If staff, it should make very little difference as your employer remains responsible for your actions. Vicarious liability etc
Also to ensure you are trained for the job.

As you are trained to Dip level it is probably reasonable for you to be in a safety managerial role and maybe your employer feels you are being under-utilised.
Loss control advisor to me indicates a fairly narrow area of responsibility whilst team leader s&e indicates a broader area including more of the risk management function and also including some staff management responsibilities.
Why not ask them what the changes mean (and how much it means on payday)?
