Hi all,

With regards to the following job titles: Health & Safety Co-ordinator, Health & Safety Officer, Health & Safety Manager. - What is the difference in terms of status within the industry, culprability/liability, roles. 

It would be an interesting discussion

As the titles are decided by the employer primarily to set a level of remuneration they are willing to pay and not decreed by state regulation who carries what liability is a mute point.

Legislation is written to identify the employer or body corporate as having the duties i.e. liabilities.

Arrangements within an organisation are not dictated by statute but left to the organisations determination.

As to status again a moveable feast - would an H&S Director of a family firm be on a par with the H&S Director of a global corporation? Similarly in one sector or industry an H&S co-ordinator may carry more managerial clout than an actual H&S Manager in another sector or industry.

So long as the pay and conditions are right a title has little bearing.

The distinctions between Health & Safety (H&S) Coordinator, Officer, and Manager roles can vary depending on the organization, but there are general differences in terms of status, culpability/liability, and roles within the industry
