A job specification for Industrial Safety Engineer was approved by
the Personnel Board on February 22, 1978.
Back rg ound
The Industrial Safety Engineer, under the administrative super-
vision of the Director of General Services, will administer
both the safety and productivity improvement programs of the
City. The duties of the position include designing and effecting
safety-related procedures to minimize or eliminate accidents,
monitoring conformance with State safety regulations, and
seeking methods to increase productivity and effectiveness of
workers.
A survey of private industry, public utilities, and local cities
produced a group of positions which varied greatly in duties,
requirements and salaries. Few were strictly comparable. Exam-
ination of our internal classification system produced a
reasonably comparable position, Personnel Analyst. Both the
Personnel Analyst and Industrial Safety Engineer positions
involve observation of work in progress, and analysis of the
duties performed and the abilities necessary to perform them.
The Personnel Analyst uses this information to develop tests,
while the Industrial Safety Engineer uses it to develop programs
to increase productivity and safety. Additionally, both positions
require an appropriate Bachelor's degree and two years' experience
in the field. Therefore, if approved, the salary for Industrial
Safety Engineer will be the same as that of Personnel Analyst,
