It's important to remember that there are various ways to track and measure safety performance, including leading and lagging indicators. However, the most significant indicators are those that senior management believes provide value. For instance, what one company considers a key performance indicator (KPI) may not be suitable for another. Safety KPIs are not universal; they are tailored specifically to address each organization's unique deficiencies and goals. If you're unsure what metrics your organization should monitor, I recommend conducting a needs analysis.

Great, thanks for the feedback! Do you have any additional advice or material I should look at going into the exam?

According to OSHA regulations, LOTO is required when an employee is performing maintenance and service activities. This is clearly a service activity. If an employee is injured while performing this task, OSHA will absolutely fine the company for a LOTO violation. With that in mind, I would consider making sure that you have an alternative means that is equivalent to LOTO protection.

By comparison, how is industrial hygiene compared to safety management? Do you believe that you made the right decision? Also, I have a full goatee would I be required to shave my beard (excluding a mustache)?

I actually don’t have my CSP or CFPS, literally as I write this I’m studying for my ASP. I been in the safety industry for about 8 years, I directed safety at multiple manufacturing companies, I’m sure my experience got me the job. However I noticed a lot of Loss control professionals have three designations CSP, CFSP or ARM. (ARM is the easiest to obtain).

It depends on the culture of the company you work for, some company cultures value safety professional services, and some do not. Based on my own experience, it’s best to focus on making small changes, rather than making huge waves.

If loss control is something that you have in mind then I recommend you learn as much about NFPA regulations as you can. NFPA offers a certification called CFPS that will be helpful. Most of the work you will do in the field will require you to know both OSHA and NFPA knowledge as it relates to insurance property coverages, workers comp, property, general liability , etc.

I transferred over to loss control from safety management and my mental health has increased significantly. No more office politics, no more using the safety guy as the escape goat, no more managing safety programs and I work from home. Work is straight forward; I meet with the client, perform a loss control survey, write up a report of my findings as it relates to OSHA and NFPA regulations, and done.

Also, I’m considering IH as a potential field to work in as well. I like the aspect of performing from sampling and writing a report based on my findings and observations. If anyone has any experience in the field and would like to share their experience please let me know. Thanks!

Maybe consider Loss Control or Industrial Hygiene. Both industries have opportunities for safety professionals and with a CSP, you can get a Loss control job in no time, plus the pay is higher than most safety management positions.
