Yes, and it is a substantial move. A health safety and environmental manager already covers 30% of what an environmental health inspector is expected to do: 9 skills carry over, 6 of which the environmental health inspector role treats as required.

10 required skills are missing, plus 18 optional ones. They fall into 9 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by communication, collaboration and creativity. The single most important is perform environmental investigations.

Its learning distance is 67.6 out of 100, which is the substantial band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
