I want advice on Taking the Next Step in My Safety Career
Rank: New forum user 
|
Hey everyone, I have been working in health and safety for about five years now & i want some advice on how to take the next step in my career. I have got my NEBOSH General Certificate & i have been involved in everything from risk assessments to creating training programs. I have been wondering what is the best way to progress further should I go for the NEBOSH Diploma or is there something else I should focus on? Also, I have seen a lot of talk about becoming chartered with IOSH. How important is that in terms of career advancement? And how difficult is the process??
As well, I found these resources when doing research on this; https://forum.iosh.co.uk/posts/sfmc-devel-salaryt133552-Next-Steps-in-HandS-Career witch is good
I woud love to hear from people who have been through similar experiences or can share what is worked for them. If anyone have any advice or suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Well, it depends a lot on what you want to progress to and what kind of opportunities you see (in your own organisation or in the market) that you might want to become better qualified for.
There are all sorts of different directions you can go in. Where would you like to end up? Specialising in something in particular, H&S all-rounder, leading a team, a jack of all trades including environment and quality and whatever else might get associated to H&S?
Personally I found both the NEBOSH Diploma and attaining Chartership very onerous and therefore I am proud of having done them. These are the most obvious route to progress but there are plenty of others.

The NEBOSH Diploma is certainly a strong credential and can open doors to higher-level positions, especially if you're aiming for roles that require in-depth knowledge. However, consider looking into other certifications that might align with your interests, such as ISO certifications or specialized training in areas like ergonomics or occupational health.

If Ella wants advice from a chatbot, I am sure she can manage to do that directly without relying on ones that masquerade as forum users with actual experience.
