Hi CD

All I can advise is get your CV out there, to everybody including agencies, and be prepared to take a drop in wages in the short term, but for a long term gain.

If you are serious and enjoy the safety profession, you will not find a more rewarding career, if you are just looking for a change and are not sure, the safety profession could drive you mad very quickly.

I have not met many safety folk who see it as just a job but may be corrected by other forum posters?

Good luck.

Agree with the above.

If serious you could further your development with further qualifications.
Also consider joining IOSH or IIRSM or both.

Keep sending your CV out, contact as many agencies as you can

Finally good luck - the rewards are many.
