Where a health and safety engineer can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a health and safety engineer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Health and safety engineers design objects and programs by combining engineering principles and health and safety requirements. They envision the protection and well-being of the people using designed objects or performing work under designed health and safety programs. They assess facilities and the risks that they might pose (e.g. contaminant materials, ergonomics, handling of dangerous substances, etc.) in order to design and improve health and safety measures.

Fig. 2 — the 5 nearest destinations from health and safety engineer. Distance from the centre is how much retraining the move takes; the figure on each is how much of that role a health and safety engineer already covers. All 5 are listed in the tables below.
  • 70% and above · short step
  • 50 to 70% · real move
  • Below 50% · substantial retraining

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a health and safety engineer already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
