Posted By Wayne Gault Colin, there is a great demand for new entrants into this field so the opportunities are there. Suitable work experience will help you to demonstrate your skills at interview. You may have this already. If not, seek opportunities to be more active in H&S within your current job, for example as a risk assessor, union or employee safety rep, etc. If you are out of work, even offering to do free consultancy for a local firm for a couple of months could give you the edge. This is what I did 10 years ago to get into the field following my theoretical training and the experience I gained enabled me to attract a good first job in H&S. Best of luck, Wayne
