I suggest that it all depends on the size, complexity and extent of the organisation and the job. A small 10-person compoany may be able to successfully combine all these roles whereas BP's global environmental team will not currently be thinking much about quality issues.

Really depends on the size and complexity of the organisation. More and more employers nowadays is expecting much more from health and safety people. i.e must have ability to acheive ISO 9001 / 14001 Compliance / experience of FM etc. Perhaps the HSEQ role is becoming more multi tasking rather than pure health and safety advice and application to the work place.
