Hey everyone. I recently excepted a safety position with a software dev. company. The workforce is largely hybrid/remote. I’m having a hard time finding items to address. I’ve been given the opportunity to shape the role but can’t seem to bring value in a way that was easily seen in higher risk professions such as construction. Do any of you have some resources I can draw upon? All questions and answers are welcome.

So, if it was me and I was in your shoes. I would start looking at ergonomics as I’m guessing since employees work remotely they need to make sure their home office set up is ergonomically correct. Also, record keeping and if there is a home office I would perform walkthroughs. Anything from electrical, tripping hazards, objects in aisle ways and in front of electrical disconnects and exit doors is where you can start at.

For references look at the National Safety Council for tips and things that may apply to your work place.

Update: This position is not occupational in the least. What they posted for versus what they are expecting is vastly different. The role is process safety in a tech/code setting.

Process safety? Since it’s tech/code I’m guessing it isn’t chemical processing.

Yuck

I recently had an interview with BNY for an Analyst role located in DE. The interview went well and I was informed by the recruiter that the team was interested. They asked if I was willing to relocate immediately, and I told him that my decision would be best made if I see an offer. I have not yet received a follow up after this(coming on two weeks) so I know that I've been ghosted. My question is, was I wrong to ask to see the offer before making a decision?

I got a job offer as a Safety Compliance Specialist with a focus on Operations/Process Safety. It’s a regional role, so I will manage over a few facilities in my given region. I negotiated my salary at 80k + $600 monthly car allowance + 8-10% annual bonus. I have 7 YOE in Operations & QA/QC in the Oil & Gas sector. I will complete bachelor degree in safety next year, so I was curious is this a reasonable offer to start my Safety career path? Also what are other certifications to better myself?
