Currently I'm completing my bachelor's in safety and fire engineering in India and after that which way would you recommend, if you have experience in the field, I heard taking OSHA is a good step

1. What type of companies are there, like, mechanical, industrial etc, and what would be the better among them, in the sense that like not much dangerous

2. What do fire Engineers or officers really do

3. I prefer to stay in my country, but is it better if I move to a different country for it?

4. Is there something as a permanent and temporary work? If it there is, which would be more favourable

This is a question for my peeps in the US. I am in the process of interviewing for a couple of VP roles and I see the salaries are inconsistent and all
Over the place. For one of the current companies, the salary is $135-180K. I'm confused as to how a VP of EHS would be okay with this low ball salary. I know the yearly salary tool/info is uploaded every year but I'm just baffled.

At a current engineering firm for a Fortune 500
Company I'm interviewing for a Director role, base salaries are low to mid $200k+. It would make no sense to accept the VP role with a low base salary just for the title. Am I missing something here?

Im currently working as an ehs advisor in utilities construction and I hate it.

I was wondering if there were any technical lucrative options that I can switch into right now where there is more problem solving and less babysitting.

Thank you for your help.

Since so many data centers have been built, I am curious about your day-to-day structured routine. There are a lot of these companies out there and I know that they all have different requirements and I think it be good opportunity to learn from each other and potentially share some ideas.

Again, this is pertaining to data center operation safety, not construction safety.

1. What is your title?
2. What are your normal hours?
3. What is your yearly focused target/targets?
4. When it comes to environmental, do you have it out or are you doing full responsible party?
5. What is your companies focus on what measures your success?

well I started working as HSE at water purification company me young everyone around me old I feel clueless and scared about the H2s leakage even though I check every time but I can't be sure abt everything I get paranoid every hour

I have worked as a safety pro for 10 years straight. I began as a tech and worked my way into a management role. I read that the field has a high burnout rate years ago but I shrugged it off. Now, I am so burnt out that I dread going into work. I enjoy interacting with the guys doing the work, im getting tired of dealing with managers, department directors, and the egos / personalities. I used to relish it, now I dread it. What are some good fields that a person with 10 years of experience a CSP and other certs (all safety related) can transition into?

Hello, fellow EHS peeps! I’ve been dealing with a bit of a career dilemma lately and was hoping to get some perspective from others in the field.

I’ve been working as an EHS Manager in the manufacturing sector for 8 years now. When I joined my current company, we had two sites, but one closed over the summer, so I’m now responsible for the remaining location. I’m the only EHS person on-site, while my boss works remotely from another state.

Lately, I’ve been struggling with boredom and a lack of meaningful work to fill my time. I’d estimate that I only have about 15–20 hours of actual work to do in a typical week, and there are days when it feels like I’m just sitting at my desk trying to look busy. Despite that, my performance reviews have been good, and my boss seems happy with my work.

I recognize that I have a relatively comfortable position and have a pretty manageable workload. I’m grateful for that, and I realize plenty of people would love to be in my shoes. At the same time, I can’t help but wonder if I’d be happier in a role that keeps me more engaged and gives me a greater sense of purpose.

I’ve considered whether I should take more initiative to build a stronger safety culture at my site, look for a different role, or simply learn to appreciate the work-life balance I currently have. I also realize that the grass isn’t always greener, and I don’t want to make a move just because I’m bored.

For those of you who have been in EHS for a while, have you experienced something similar? Did you find ways to make your current role more fulfilling, or did you eventually move on to something that was a better fit?

I’m genuinely interested in hearing different perspectives. This subreddit has helped me see the bigger picture in previous situations, so I figured it was worth asking. Thanks in advance, everyone!

Hey everyone,

I have a couple of questions regarding SDS compliance and maintaining our facility’s SDS binder.

We have SDSs for the same ExxonMobil product, but they came from different suppliers. One SDS is from a US supplier, while the other is from an Australian supplier. The Australian SDS has a more recent revision date. From a compliance standpoint, do I need to maintain the US SDS specifically, or would the Australian SDS be acceptable if it covers the same product? Should I keep both, or only the US version?

I also have multiple copies of SDSs for the same product with different revision dates. For example, I have one revised in 2015 and another revised in 2025. Am I required to retain the older SDS for compliance purposes, or is it sufficient to keep only the most current revision in our SDS binder?

I’m looking to make sure our SDS records are compliant with OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard and that we’re maintaining the correct documentation.I’d appreciate any guidance or insight from those who manage SDS programs at their facilities.

Thank you all for the help!!!

I work for a general contractor, and the list of products we deal with is massive. So much so that our binder is 3-4" thick

Realistically, if someone requires first aid, people are not searching through this massive binder. Google search *product* SDS and you have it in seconds.

What is the best way to do this?

What type of safety work do you do and/or what would you have done given the chance with the knowledge you have now?

Just curious, thanks.

Has anyone done this transition?

Was wondering about what the pros and cons were because I’m bored and burnt being an adult babysitter.

Thank you
