You already know that studying further is a good idea. How can enhancing existing qualifications ever be a bad thing? And you already know that once you have successfully achieved your qualification you’ll be able to plan, implement and maintain a safety, health and environmental (SHE) management system.
But once this is done, the real question becomes, ‘How does this help me when it comes to finding a great job in the health and safety industry?’ Employment (or rather, staggering unemployment) remains a real problem worldwide, and everyone is looking for the edge that will guarantee they’re ahead of the pack when it comes to finding permanent work.
