Hi
An interesting question. As the recession starts to 'bite' in earnest, I am looking at what is out there if the worst should happen.
Initially, try to stay in the same sector. Or - look at another sector (I am in a high risk one, so there are 'easier' sectors to enter).
Or, if all else fails, what are the related careers for H&S, for an enforced change?
For example, I am QHSE, so would ISO9001 Lead Auditor carry much weight, or a trainer's certificate?
We are viewed as quite 'distant' from most professions - a bit 'quirky' almost!!
I am really passionate about H&S and do not want to move out of the sector, but at the end of the day, mortgages do not pay themselves!
Anybody here come into/ left for a different job area, and how did/ do they find the transition and transferable skills?
Cheers
Ian

Ian,
Interesting question and valid in this day and age.
I have employed risk consultants for the past 12 years and for the right type of person there are other jobs that need and use our inherent skills.
The one that springs immediately to mind is Insurance Liability Surveying.
The ability to question and spot issues are our meat and drink and many companies value these assets.
Facilitation of ideas and resolving problems in an effective manner (I could go on)
Risk Management is becoming evermore the watch word and I for one believe that good people in which ever branch of Risk can expect to get much busier in the future.
Of course exp. in the trade / discipline is useful but it is not always the most important if a person has support around them.
We can and all learn something new each day anyway.
Regards
Stefan
