The Role of Human Resource Management Controlling in Organisational Safety

Safety and its corporate culture is becoming a key factor in the lives of technology-driven economic organisations. The development and maintenance of a strategy suitable for monitoring and managing external and internal risks is very important. However, not all organisations aim for perfection in this respect: few of them are aware that aiming for the minimally necessary and sufficient safety is not enough in these days. In order for an organisation to be able to detect and fully meet safety requirements, purposebuilt support systems must be operated. Strategic and operative planning, implementation and decision support can be facilitated by area-specific controlling systems. This includes the application of human controlling as an important factor in shaping organisational safety culture. However, a number of result factors exist in human resource management and organisational behaviour, the quantification of which is impossible or very limited, therefore further extension of the traditional asset pool may be essential. The retention of human capital, along with the new controlling methods used for an efficient economy may also enable the examination of soft factors with difficult quantification, thus facilitate the smooth operation of corporate processes. This can also promote safety as a new aspect in the support system of human controlling.
