Posted By graemekann Greetings all.. I have just been given a opportunity to work for a small/medium sized Engineeering company that makes specialist diesel engines for the marine industry in a factory environment. The main engines are casted elsewhere but the components are added at the factory. They have been told they need a "safety assistant/advisor in there firm to advise" I have my Nebosh Gen cert & have told them & that I hae no experience in the marine industry, though am keen to learn & have some of the information on the NEBOSH manuals. They are looking for someone to work from the there manuals and produce working documents & risk assessments etc. I am mainly office & leisure based safety, and have told them so & they STILL have given me the post.They seem to understand that its hard to find a person with exact marine engine experience My question is am I going to be competent in this role and where can I get more specialist safety information? Its a temp position for 3 months that may lead to permanant with other duties.. any help or advise would be greatly useful, many thanks Graeme
