Responsibilities of HSE Practitioner

No doubt nowadays the numbers of Malaysian want to become a HSE Practitioner increase from year to year. Some of them joining or attending the safety and health officer courses come from various industry such as banking officer, government servants, fresh graduates and there some of them had high profile position such as manager and so on. What turn them to this industry? Most if not all of them joining the career because they heard its a high pay career, no doubt about that.

My question is, are they ready enough to join the industry? It's not only a high pay career or just another a glamor job, but a position where the practitioner has an important role to safe a life, protect the environments and avoid the property damage. As a HSE Practitioner, the person will deal from the buttom until the top management of the organization. This career need a person who dare enough to deal with all kind of people.

Spend few thousand, attend the course and get a job. But it is not as easy as what some people think. Base with my own experienced, doesn't matter whatever we did, without permission of the God, we always fail.

As a safety practitioner, you have to ensure all the employees under your custodian return back home to their family safely. Since we heard and saw almost daily either on TV, Internet or news, there were some unlucky person, went to workplace safely but didn't return home alive. This is the real challenging of the safety practitioner with the cooperation with all employees to ensure all the hazards and risk have been managed and put to as low as reasonable and practicable.

Good luck to all the new comers. Welcome to the industry and remember there are no compromise in safety and safety is always a top priority in the business. GBU
