Posted By Orla Herley Hello everyone, I have been following some of the threads on the forums and as a beginner in the field of H & S I have some of them quite useful, however this is my first time posting so please be gentle with me! Having worked in construction for roughly 5 years I self-financed and went back to college to sudy NEBOSH Nat Gen Cert in Occ H&S. Luckily for me I got a break within a year and landed a good job working on a decommissioned nuclear site as a Health and Safety Engineer for a contractor. Although this is one hell of a step up from doing admin and a bit of H& S on site, I intend to persevere. I want to carry on training up but am hitting a brick wall when it comes to information (ie do I do NEBOSH diploma or what?). As well as that, the company I work for at the moment is undergoing some serious and fundamental changes so info about training and development is not forthcoming and the chances of the company paying for said training is nil at the mo. As a young lass trying to make her way in the world of construction and very much wanting to stay here, I'm finding the wealth and breadth of information somewhat bewildering. So I suppose my question to all you people is where do I go next? I have the opposite problem to some of the other threads I have seen posted in that I am getting the experience but feel my training is somewhat lacking. Any help/guidance/feedback would be appreciated Thanks

Posted By Orla Herley Philby Many thanks for the prompt reply. Just one question (and forgive my ignorance!) who is this Linda and how do I track her down? Sounds like someone I should be talking to....... Orla

Posted By Arran Linton - Smith Orla. In my experience the best careers advice I received simply came from the Membership Department of IOSH. They do have a careers advisor in place that is able to help members.
