What suggestions do YOU have for those trying to be a H&S Professional?

[kimbrock]

I fell into Health & Safety by taking an opportunity that was presented to me to be a Safety Liaison. I am now a Health and Safety Specialist.

You gave a lot of good infomation in this video! As you said just keep an open mind on traveling because there is a lot more opportunity on the road. Don't be scared to take a short job when you first start, you are building time under your belt. Most large companies want two years of experance before they will even look at you. Keep your head up, it may take time but it will happen. It took me 10 years before I was able to get my foot into the door. Now I have over 15 years as an ES&H professional. One last thing is always be open to cross training, learn environmental and Industrial Hygiene as you continue your safety journey.

I decided on staying the military for another year because it felt like my only option because finding a job in the health and safety field was ridiculously tough. I’ve been in the military since high school, so it’s all I really know. I tried getting into health and safety jobs, made it to a bunch of interviews, but things always fell apart when they found out I didn’t have the specific experience they were looking for, like in oil and gas or construction.

On top of my military background, I’ve got EPA Type I & II certifications, OSHA 10/30 hour training, and I’m even halfway through a bachelor’s in Safety Management. But none of that seemed to matter. It’s been a real headache, trying to figure out why I’m striking out, considering I’ve got a decent mix of skills and education.

3:50 nobody else providing this information is so true. It’s a struggle to find the right info.

I've been a Union Ironworker for 25 years. I'm looking into changing careers and moving into Construction Safety. I appreciate your videos. I figure my decades of experience will help because I know all the crap people are trying to get away with. 😊

Thank you for the content provided. lots of important information for me, as I have worked as a health, safety and ergonomics engineer for 12 years in Brazil, now wanting new knowledge in the American market. I wish you success!

[yupJake]

This is GREAT. Spot on. Amazing way to not over complicated it.

[adulfosalgado]

I came upon this channel at the right time. About to start my OSHA 30 certification training.

[Potatolord]

Yes this is what I would to do. Help people be safe and health. Thanks so much for video. You are very funny and serious man. I very like you

[MMoore-lydk]

I JUST LOVE you for this! Thank you! I just got my OSHA 10 Gen Industry. I know, bottom barrel ... le sigh. I have 11 years of insurance claims management. My degree is in History (initially wanted to be a lawyer ... ) I know I have a LONG way to go, but hey, nothing beats a failure like a try :)

[lovepeaceandhope]

😂😊 You are too cute! Thank you for sharing.

[XhopebringerX]

This is something that I’ve been wanting to do. It’s on my goals and I plan on getting my OSHA 510 and going from there. I currently have my OSHA 30.

[pointh]

7 years in the fire department and then ended up becoming a safety & environmental technician.. now I’m only in safety as a tech going for my BS in occupational safety & health to pursue CSP

[Wandering_SA_]

[artistirmafeliciarodriguez]

Hello, I have several certs but do I "need" the ISO 27001? What website would you recommend for EHS Management Certificates? I would like to discuss my background and what I want to achieve. Thank You!!! and Absolutely love your videos :)
