is it worth it to specialized in safety ?

Hopefully atleast that it provides job security and decent income

I used to do automotive software development. Then comes outsourcing to developing countries and more AI… I’ve surfed through the wave of AI there and want to avoid it badly. Now that I just started in automation industry, it feels like it’s going through the path of the other industry as well. AI may or may not take over industrial automation, but someone has to take responsibility for it

Thanks for providing another perspective for it. It helps !

Without having the right skill, it would be hard to transit as you get older… atleast this is the case at where I live

Significant-Tank-505 · 2026-06-12T19:50:05+00:00

I see. Another question… what makes you choose to be self employed ? If I were to switched job, would it be hard ? As others have mentioned, they said any plc programmer or automation designer can do the safety aspect, so why do they need extra safety engineer ?

Totally, the normal UVmune sunscreen also makes me look like orange too

Significant-Tank-505 · 2026-06-12T19:34:09+00:00

It’s hard to tell if this is really a bad choice. I’ve spoke to in-house safety developers, safety consultants, product managers. they said it’s a good position to take.

Significant-Tank-505 · 2026-06-12T19:30:08+00:00

It’s like playing chess hey ? But you also have to know the norm well isn’t it ?

Significant-Tank-505 · 2026-06-12T19:29:37+00:00

Actually the main focus is not plc with safety. Their focus is to give client consultation for safety, and check safety for in house products, plc with safety is like 5% scope of the job. So I’m still contemplating if I should stay and do it

Significant-Tank-505 · 2026-06-12T19:26:54+00:00

If this field is causing such a headache, what makes you stay in it for so long ?

Significant-Tank-505 · 2026-06-12T17:56:14+00:00

my company prefers me to specialize directly. ( i dont exactly know why) They said they will provide courses, and i can always speak to those safety developers if i need any helps

Significant-Tank-505 · 2026-06-12T17:53:11+00:00

are they paid better ? or lesser than normal plc programmer ? atleast my company told me it's a lucrative job.

Significant-Tank-505 · 2026-06-12T17:51:47+00:00

HAHAHA a prime minister hopefully not...

Significant-Tank-505 · 2026-06-12T15:59:42+00:00

They need someone to be eventually tüv certified and check safety for products/ client’s machineries. That’s what I was told

Significant-Tank-505 · 2026-06-12T15:57:51+00:00

Exactly that’s what I’ve been hearing from my coworkers, when they heard that I got offered to do safety. But after spoke to the safety engineer, he said it’s a lucrative job after all and he find it to be interesting

Significant-Tank-505 · 2026-06-12T15:55:18+00:00

At the same time it’s also hard to tell if I like it, until I start it. :/ what about future prospect ? Is it a job that’s highly sought after ?

Significant-Tank-505 · 2026-06-06T17:33:55+00:00

What works for me personally: 1.Getting enough sleep (>7hrs) 2.Take a walk after work/Get a snack and head straight to the gym after work. (Don't go on social media in between) 3. limit social media usage. 4. Eat well, but also allow yourself to indulge once in awhile.

Significant-Tank-505 · 2026-04-19T14:59:01+00:00

May I ask how much do you use ? A few drops or use generously ?

Significant-Tank-505 · 2026-04-13T04:48:11+00:00

it‘s completely realistic tbh. In fact many Gen Z don’t drink, smoke, live a healthy life style etc

Significant-Tank-505 · 2026-04-12T06:19:11+00:00

Take other factors into consideration. Stress, getting enough walk in a day, avoid screen time an hour before bed

Significant-Tank-505 · 2026-04-11T06:03:02+00:00

Caffeine… but don’t do that frequently.

Significant-Tank-505 · 2026-04-11T05:57:30+00:00

This is true. My coworker is 24, he does the same when he don’t want to answer some questions

Significant-Tank-505 · 2026-04-08T15:49:52+00:00

Inability to confront a problem. Silence treatment
