From Detective to Health and Safety - Advise for New Career
Rank: Guest

Posted By garry2487 I am Detective with 12 years experience in numerous specialist squads and trained in various aspects of incident control, investigative interviewing of witnesses and suspects including cognitive interviewing techniques, advanced defensive driving, security, media presentation and high level report writing. I have been a trainer within the Police although have not recognised outwith in civi street. I have 7 years scaffolding experience and some military experience. Also having recently passed my NEBOSH NGC I want to move into the Safety area. I had wanted to move to the offshore arena but have no offshore experience.
Can anyone give me any advise on the best way to utilise my skills and what if any courses would better suit me to further my chances of changing career.
Thanks

Posted By Allan Curran Do the Nebosh Diploma or higher. Play on your people,trainer, report writing and observation skills.
Being an ex cop myself I came to find that apart from life skills your not left with much after you leave so you need to ramp up these areas and in my experience there's not much out there for someone at NGC level.
There is of course the debate that the Diploma is not the only qualification out there and this is true.

Posted By www.hsepeople.comwww.hsepeople.com is the first website of its kind. A Social Networking site aimed specifically at Health and Safety People in all industries world wide. In Health and Safety the sharing of Information, Lessons Learned and best practise is very important. [reference removed] brings everything safety together in one place and makes it very easy to communicate with other HSE Professionals, Agencies, Companies, Suppliers, Trainers and Consultants. Only 2 months old but with almost 1000 members and more joining every day, [reference removed] is a not for profit community site that aims to be a one stop shop for anyone working in HSE. On [reference removed] you can create a profile freely advertising your services and availability, Chat instantly with other members through the sites instant messenger or through the discussion forums. With hundreds of HSE jobs being listed from around the world on the RSS Feeds or from the many big agencies posting on the forums [reference removed] has more HSE Jobs than any other site on the Net. Create a blog and let other keep up to date with what you are doing. If it is of interest to the community post it to the site magazine. [reference removed] also gives members the ability to create and manage their own group specific to whatever topic they choose and many agencies are taking advantage of this feature to create jobs groups. If you are a HSE Trainer create an event and advertise course places. People can join your event and leave comments or ask questions. They can also view who else is attending your event and communicate with them. The business directory page is now live and we will constantly be adding to it. If you work, recruit, train or consult in Health and Safety then your business can benefit by being on display to hundreds of the [reference removed] who are likely to use your services. [reference removed] also allows members to upload safety videos and you can now download all the videos using the new Micro Feed option and watch them offline. Great for training purposes! In the very near future we will be launching the document library. This will give any member the ability to upload, search, browse and download Safety Presentations, Procedures, Lessons Learned, Risk Assessments, Checklists, Toolbox talks. In fact any document relating to safety. No longer will you need to re-invent the wheel every time a new challenge presents itself. The chances are some one before you will have done it and you will be able to find it on www.hsepeople.comThe site is proving a huge hit and I hope to welcome you there soon www.hsepeople.com
