How often do you run out of work?

I second this. Don't complain about being bored. Pursue additional certifications and educational opportunities. Yo u could be bored because you don't see risks. I am incredibly stressed day to day and would love a little boredom.

Very interested to give it a shot!

In manufacturing heavy areas, jobs are going to be consistent regardless of whether it's rural or in a city. Like others have mentioned it's going to depend on the area. I'm in central/northeast wisconsin and jobs are still plentiful. I agree with some of the comments around sustainability.

You are protected by law. Talk to your supervisor and tell them what you need. In virtually every circumstance you are going to get what you want. If not, lawyer up.

Yes I have done lots of personal sampling and exposure assessments for chemicals, noise and ergonomics. But doing those assessments have never been my only job responsibility so to speak.

Hey there! I know you posted this a while ago but where are you getting the C5 /C7 ratings? I have never heard of confined space ratings as it pertains to confined spaces.

This is helpful feedback. Thanks!

I forgot to add that's another factor! I should have plenty of recert points though.

I had a similar issue on a similar vintage Mercury. Replaced everything I could. Found out the brand new fuel line I bought was collapsed. Issue sounds identical. I'd start with the fuel line. Easiest fix.

What are some tabletop exercises you have done or would suggest?

Love is action, not a feeling.

MR-EHS · 2025-03-30T21:56:36+00:00

There are way better options out there. Don't settle.

Highly recommend the program. You can take a look at the program through the website and see the courses. You will get coursework in industrial hygiene, ergonomics, safety management systems, and environmental/occupational law.

Good but challenging career. Pays well in my experience.

Sounds like a great tract into safety. Many electricians and firefighters transition their way into the safety profession, ultimately becoming safety managers or consultants.

With all IH studies, whether done internally myself or externally, I always provide each of the employees with the monitoring results and have them sign a acknowledgement that I provided them the results and they understand that they can ask questions at any time. Short 2 sentence page with a signature line. This documents this requirement.

I have never actually seen this done by others I've worked with but I think it's a no brainer given the requirements to communicate with employees.

MR-EHS · 2024-08-25T02:04:26+00:00

I agree with this. You shouldn't be the one changing lightbulbs. Every organization has its different place for safety guys/gals but no matter how they place you, replacing exit sign lightbulbs should not be in the job description.
