Unit 6: Risk Management: Safety, Health, and Security

David Cherrington, DBA, SPHR Laura Middleton, SPHR, SPHRi

Protecting people and the organization from harm is a core HR responsibility, and this resource helps students and HR practitioners build that expertise while preparing for the PHR, SPHR, SHRM-CP, and SHRM-SCP exams. Students learn to define risk management and apply four strategies for managing risk, then examine workplace safety, employee health, and security in turn. Unit practice and timed assessments, three comprehensive assessments, and situational practice let students check their readiness and apply what they've learned to realistic scenarios.
