Tune into today’s episode to hear all about Aimee’s career path in Organizational Health & Safety and find your own.

As an OH&S contract trainer in the classroom, I often get asked about “What’s next?” or “Where do I go from here, now that I’m getting this type of training?”. Well, the simple answer is: IT DEPENDS. 

To help clarify this, join me as I share all about my origin story and the questions that guided me, as well as the internal and external factors and influences that landed me where I am today.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The wide range of paths, expectations, training, and qualifications available within the Health & Safety profession
• The difference between a practitioner and a professional
• The importance of certifications and designations in OH&S
• Tips and questions you should ask yourself to find the right career path for you

The Transmit Safety Podcast is here to help health and safety practitioners achieve a holistic approach to workplace health and safety so they can become impactful leaders and put the value of safety into action.

Quotes from this episode

“If you have an interest in Health & Safety, […] you can get into the profession wherever you currently are. It might not be the ideal job position or title that you want, but there is a way to get, I think, your foot in the door.”

“[…] there is never an exact copy-and-paste career path. Each one of us has various qualifications, education, experience. Each job position has shaped us. Each interaction with other practitioners and professionals has impacted us. 

And educational opportunities have developed us in different ways.”

“What’s the right direction for you? That’s something only you can answer.”
