hi hachi,

 

due to the lack of exposure, suggest you join a safety consultancy firm to build up your credential.

 

this will also enable you to expand your horizon for safety skill and knowledge as well.

 

give yourself at least 2 to 3 years working and exposing yourself to various industries. this will give you the advantage to choose which industry you would focus on later.

 

unless, you know for sure which line you would prefer right now. you may pick the exact industry you desired.

 

safety profession is a cut above all. but the following top 3 make the most money:

 

1. oil and gas;

2. construction;

3. pharma;

4. marine (shipyard);

5. general factories;

6. facilities;

7. others

 

good luck.

No. 6 Qualifications benefits me to teach, delegate participants with regards to UK Standards. (Nebosh)

No. 5 Qualification for Local Institute from Accredited Training Providers (Singapore)

 

Registered ECO & FSM do work together, depends on which industries you belongs to, but not Commercial.

 

[SGPBandit]

good luck...something...it all boils own to be at the right time and place and knowing the right the people......

[cstay66]

eco and fsm are 2 very different fields. they seldom work together.

 

eco stands for environmental control officer. applicable for construction site. you deal with vector control, mosquitoes more than environmental pollution issues.

 

whereas fsm, they are fire safety manager who are needed in factories and commercial buildings.

 

eco trained, certified and registered by nea - national environment agency.

 

fsm trained, certified and registered by scdf.

Too many demands from the Government yet less Opportunities for us instead.

Got the experience & exposure still demand & control the workforce population..

 

How about being an Expats?

[cstay66]

too many foreigners to share the job opportunities.

 

garmen needs to bring them in as singaporeans are not producing enough babies. and worst, it is very difficult to manage the expectation of singaporeans who becomes demanding as we progress. in view of such, the supporting votes for the ruling party is dwindling and the only way to balance up is to attract more foreigners to take up citizenship.

 

in order to make up enough votes, as not all foreigners will take up citizenship, the garmen needs to bring in great influx of foreigners to give them an opportunity to experience the life style here. yes, only a small percentage will eventually becomes singaporeans who will sure support the garmen. but is you work on the law of large numbers, it will surely work for the ruling party. afterall, grc may eventually work for the opposition parties.

 

on the other hand, more foreign workers also presses down the wages of workers, technicians, engineers and managers.

 

and the garmen saves plenty of money, as consider they are the biggest employer in singapore, holding on to at least 70% of the economy. so when a garmen is also an employer, you know what kind of policy they will set lah.

 

sorry for the political talk. but it too has an impact on safety profession.

i understand the statements... Yup, Garmen indeed not doing anything, worst nothing.

What got to do with Lift Upgrade in Voting Ruling party.

 

Here, there everywhere..seems pointless.. "Vote Garmen" get free lift. WTH?

 

Indeed affect our safety proffession, more constructions more foreigners cheap labours... more accident.

More claims..cheap materials....Reasonable Practicable errr

Seems silent.. hehe..

Just reading all the threads gave me so much infos and stuffs..

 

This place is great especially for freshies like me!

[WarForGe]

Very long never touch this thread already..

 

Read through from where I left off last year and was a little disappointed with some posts.

 

To cut it short:

People, please stop asking around for "reference" on your assignments (level B, level C).

If I can do it for my level B (mind you, SP's 1st Intake guinea pig here) and my level C by myself/discussions with classmates/ask lecturers, you can do it too. Google is your best assistance.

 

STOP indirectly killing and injuring people! The recent level B graduates seems so bad that I have to recommend to my boss to remove some (sub-con's WSHC) from my site before something bad happens.

 

 

And stop publicly provide "assistance" for assignments.

 

 

Not everybody is suitable to be in this industry.. don't jump in for the sake of hear say, high pay, etc..

Wait till 1 fine day, somebody is killed and you have the family members kneeling in front of you crying and begging you to give them back their love ones.

 

Are YOU, prepared for this scene?

[cstay66]

thanks warforge. for a timely reminder that our roles is a serious one.

 

and definitely not for those who just going for getting the assignment completed and good money.

 

we are in a business of preventing loss, saving lives, keeping the family together.

 

though we may not get a pay close to our ministers.

 

we are passionate to do just that.

any one got experience working at NOV? can pm me?
