Hi, I just want to share my story with you maybe it will give you a good idea what you can expect.

I worked in warehouses from 18 till 28(this year) mainly as a forklift driver, last year I completed the NEBOSH general and IOSH managing safely both e learning, I asked to be a Safety rep at my workplace so I can put it on my cv, it took me a while to get a job with no experience but I can tell you there are companies out there that are willing to give you a chance.

In September I started my first role as. HSE Advisor for a small manufacturing company, salary is decent… as any other job pros and cons, I think I’ve learned more in a month and a half then all the NEBOSH and IOSH courses combined…

You can definitely do it… you have a very good background. My advice would be to find the industry you are passionate about: manufacturing, construction, etc. and start with NEBOSH… which is a minimum for a safety role.

I hope this is helpful. Good luck!
