Best Answer

To become a professional in industrial health and safety you normally obtain a college degree, usually a Master's degree or a Doctorate, depending on the specific field you choose to pursue. Possible fields include:

  • Industrial Medicine
  • Industrial Nursing
  • Occupational Hygiene
  • Safety Engineering
  • Health Physics
  • Ergonomics / Human Factors

Others have become "safety professionals" by being appointed by their employers to a front-line safety management or safety coordinator position, taking numerous short courses on relevant topics and eventually obtaining professional certification and moving to a job assignment requiring professional status.
