Industrial Safety and Health Technicians

Employers

Technicians work for government agencies, mining operations, medical and surgical hospitals, as well as colleges and universities. They are employed in building construction, chemical manufacturing, and in waste management services. Technicians work for a wide variety of employers, large and small. At a large company, technicians are likely to be part of a large safety and health staff, with their own areas of specialization and responsibilities. At a small company, the safety and health staff may consist of just one or two technicians who assume full responsibility for the entire operation.
