Human Resource managers often deal with workers compensation and other insurance. They may oversee return-to-work programs following illness and injury. Overall, safety and health functions are a small, but important, element of Human Resources. The professional organization is the Society for Human Resource Management. 

The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), founded in 1948, provides services to more than 60,000 members. SHRM produces several professional publications, including the monthly HR Magazine. The society promotes a certification program administered by the Human Resource Certification Institute. Candidates may apply for certification as a professional in human resources (SPHR) or senior professional in human resources (SPHR). Certification requires experience in an exempt HR position and successful completion of a certification examination. The society holds an annual conference and exposition, an employment law and legislative conference, a leadership conference, and a diversity conference.

For example, I have discussed with associates in Japan their lifetime employment policies. As you know, the unemployment rate in Japan is normally less than 2% and when it exceeds this there is great concern. Some Japanese question their lifetime employment policy. It is my view that we in the United States have a lifetime employment system, however, the difference is that in Japan it is managed and controlled by the private sector, while in the United States it is managed and controlled, to a major extent, by the public sector through welfare programs, food stamps, etc. It takes little imagination to consider which is more costly to a society, both in terms of dollars or yen and, as important, in pride and utilization of the human resource.

With the development of national economy, there are more and more abandoned mines in various reasons. These abandoned mine will not only cause huge waste of resources, but also do great harm to the environment and society if the management is not properly. The re-exploitation of abandoned mine is imperative. The research of the robots replacing human in abandoned mine has very broad prospects. The research focuses on the explosion-proof performance of the encloser, walking mechanism and commuitication method under the situation of flooded shafts or collapses. Meanwhile, this paper provides the reference for the safety design of the mine robot in the future.
