Health and Safety / facilities Careers

[Amplus]

Despite never considering going down this field as assumed it was for boring old men with clipboards (no offence), I've had an opportunity come up to assist the QHSE manager at my work then eventually take over as well as deal with the facilities part of the site. Company will pay for a NEBOSH course as well.

Looking online and the money doesn't seem to bad, seems there are plenty of jobs going in this field and the chance to leave the office as well if doing audits.

Undecided as in process of interviewing for an application support position at my work which involves lots of travelling and teaching people the in-house software. Health and safety role actually sounds like it has more long term stability but be interesting to find out what others experiences.

Thanks for the reply! Great to read.

Whats your general day like? You get to go out the office much?

Training people is the aspect of it that puts me off a little as I know how boring these H & S courses can be. You have to conduct these?

Sounds very interesting. Definitely more interesting then the office based QHSE role at my place.

I can imagine it's a very 'lonely' job however of only in office 3.times a month and visiting customer sites as the lone h & s guy?
