Qualifications to start a career in Health and Safety

The qualifications that are required to make a career in health and safety are dependent on the type of role that you take.

Morally obligated to help another human being. Legally too, every country has laws on safety of their citizens. Every building code of every country has a Fire Safety policy. Economically speaking, in terms of Health & Safety , it is cheaper to be safe now than to pay civil claims, compensations and even high insurance premiums. Hence, just by adopting health and safety policy and implementing it and following it, we have safer environment to work on, safer country to live in, safer food to eat.
