Posted By Rebecca Darling I am currently working for the education department risk assesing pre 16 work placements. I have IOSH and I am just starting NEBOSH certificate. I would like to expand on this and my future career. Has anyone any suggestions as to what I should do next or any career suggestions. I do like working within education, but realise my career is limited here.

Posted By Jane Morton Hello I have just left employment with a College of Further Education to live on the IOW. I found that my previous employment as a health and safety adviser in education gave me a wide range of experience as the College covered Hair and Beauty, Art and Design, Construction, Science, IT, etc. Most of my work was taken up with writing policies and with doing workplace assessments - with a staff of 1500 people there was always a demand. Since you have been doing assessments on young people, this might stand you in good stead as what i have found is that the College was not very good in organising workplace assessments for new starters (of whatever age). In addition, there will be work experience students to assess etc. It very much depends on what area you decide to go into, but if you want to stay in education and get a varied H&S range, then my suggestion would be to send your CV to Colleges, Schools (private and state) and to LEAs and Councils. I hope this is of use to you and good luck in your future career and with your Certificate. Jane Morton
