Transmit Safety: Occupational Health And Safety on All Frequencies

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.
