Course Overview

What does a safety professional do?

A safety professional is tasked with the thorough inspection, assessment, and identification of threats and hazards in working environments. Their responsibilities extend further to the elimination of hazards and the implementation of safer practices in working environments. Moreover, safety professionals often work in industries with a high risk of accidents or workplace hazards, such as construction, manufacturing, warehousing, and many more. Proactive research and investigation are always needed in the working process in such an environment to identify risks and map out safety measures to prevent them. In addition, safety professionals usually examine past crises and interview workers to inform their work process.
