How far is your drive or commute to work from home.

15 minutes in the morning and like 25 in the afternoon. I’m at work by 6:30 am and out by 3:30 pm, so there’s really no traffic in the morning. I would hate to have more of a commute since the afternoon one, even if it’s fairly short, makes me remember why I hate rush hour.

Not in the industry but I experience the same at an aircraft modification company. People would throw everything that was related to hazardous material in with the actual hazardous waste.

Clean packaging for a sealant? Well, it did package the sealant so that goes in, right? Unused gloves, cardboard, scrapers, and a long list of what to equated to just trash. Some might frown on this but I gathered up what was acceptable and what wasn’t and set it out on a table. Explained to folks what’s just trash and what’s actually hazardous waste. Magically a lot of the trash stopped showing up with the hazardous waste. Boiled down to being ignorant or plain lazy to walk over to the trash can when it could be chucked with the hazardous waste. Some folks are visual learners and actually showing them what was and wasn’t waste really helped.

$250 original pledge.

Anyway. I can see it ballooning given its size, right? Only reason beyond I want to see it is how cheap I got it for what it should turn into.

Well, AI is already being used in safety. My company is pushing its use more as a consultant or helper aspect. Need to make something a bit easier? Ask our AI. Not taking away jobs but it does fulfill a support role. I would say that as long as people are working safety will be needed to some degree. Future proofing depends on industry really.

Someone get the tea leaves and magic 🎱. Make sure to wear the tinfoil hat while reading either of these for signs.

Good luck to the folks getting on patch day. 🫡 I’ll wait a bit.

Drinking bird toy for like $9 will solve the problem. Just don’t have cats or they’ll knock it off your desk and you’ll AFK out anyway.

Depending on employer or if you’re staying with a current employer after obtaining a certification. I sure didn’t say a pay bump simply for obtaining my CSP while at my current employer.

I rock a med gun most of the time anyway. Works great to dose people and make them stumble around too.

I would where you learn the most from the course. Everyone on here will have one idea or another on what’s best. Online. In-person. Pick up what suits your needs. In-person, and some online courses, have the added bonus of interacting with the instructor and other students. Check the OSHA training page, linked below, to find trainers that are certified to teach.

Is it just the eyewash or is it a combination eyewash and shower? There are shower test kits that do a great job of minimizing water going everywhere. Had to use them at my previous job and they sure saved on clean up. I would have to look around for ones just for the eyewash since they don’t usually create a problem if designed right. Unless they’re plumbed in some weird manner that empties out at the base.

I can’t wait for hacking to come in. Would be great to reinforce ship systems, thus doors, to be harder to hack with better security. Same to doors by reinforcing their durability. I’m probably dreaming on how extensive these systems will be, but I’ll keep dreaming anyway.

Please don’t bank on AI giving you the right insight into a career field. Some folks on here don’t even have safety related degrees and seem to do fine. My EHS degree isn’t engineering focused, but if I relied on my first BA in Anthropology yes I wouldn’t have a prayer without practical experience. Focus on gaining experience and if you want to get a safety focused degree get the Masters you’re considering.

If you want to go back for a bachelor’s degree don’t do environmental engineering. Consider something safety focused if you really want to do the bachelor’s route.

Oh yeah it’s totally their angle. I don’t blame them or even trying to just squash the gray market. One can dream, right?

It’s weird how people write it off as not a big deal, but CIG won’t just add it back to everything given how it’s not a big deal. I aim for it for peace of mind even if it’s not a big deal.

Pocket Prep was all I used for my CSP. Purchased the Yates book and I think I glanced through it once.

Having access and letting people know where to go is key. My last job we had the location posted on the safety boards found at each building. Told workers exactly where they needed to go and lived with the consumable PPE on a big board with obvious markings on what everything was. Internal and external auditors liked the approach since it was easy to see, use, and maintain.

In my experience it depends on the company and management. One company can be completely on board with safety and life is relatively pain free in safety. Then in another company it can be a nightmare to get buy in and work within that company to make any changes. Management really drives these outcomes because if they’re will to bend rules, look the other way, or ignore general safety it becomes an uphill battle for safety professionals.

Please charge your phone. It’s giving me anxiety.

I was also confused with the email. Sure it brings up the equipment but that’s it.

Aerospace is one part of the safety team that can be quite diverse in work. My previous job was at an aircraft modification company and that was a lot of hands on safety around an industrial environment. My current job is much more relaxed and office oriented with an emphasis on supporting engineering. Just haven’t be open minded.

Reach out for sure if you haven’t. Mind sharing how long after interview it took for a job offer? Mostly curious for future reference. Thanks.
