Safety professionals communicate, directly and indirectly with a
large number of employees and others on a daily basis. While not
lawyers, they regularly deal with legal issues. A subset of their
responsibilities includes how to discuss safety without crossing
the discriminatory line. To do this, they need an understanding of
discrimination laws. Discrimination Law Issues for the Safety
Professional gives them exactly that. It provides general knowledge
of the laws and regulations that offer protection to employees and
individuals against discrimination in the workplace.
Created by safety expert Thomas Schneid, specifically for safety
professionals, the book takes a proactive approach to identifying
situations where potential discrimination against an employee or
individual may occur, and supplies guidance on how to take
immediate action to address the potential discriminatory situation.
Schneid also identifies "red flag" situations where potential
discrimination against an employee or individual may surface and
safety professionals should proceed with caution. Once they can
recognize these red flags, they can take immediate action to
address the potential discriminatory situation.
Although many texts address discrimination in the workplace,
very few, if any, educate individuals and employers on how to
prevent" "acts and omissions in the workplace that can result in
discrimination from a safety perspective. With the multitude of
laws and regulations addressing the prohibition of discrimination
in the workplace, often legal actions result from individuals and
employers simply not being knowledgeable in the requirements of the
law. Written in clear, plain language, not legalese or business
speak, this book delineates the procedures that safety
professionals need to know in the area of labor, employment, and
other laws impacting the safety function.
