Become a mentor

The value of becoming a Mentor 


Are you an experienced Health and Safety professional looking to help more people develop their career within the industry? 

A lot of people are interested in getting into the Health and Safety industry or are looking to progress within their current Safety position but do not have the direction of an experienced professional to encourage them to do so.

As Health & Safety professionals only make up 0.1% of the working population, many young or inexperienced professionals find it diffcult to develop skills and experience from an available qualified manager or professional, especially in smaller organisations where there may only be 1 or 2 Safety professionals employed.
