Question hello sir ;
I had taken a bahelor degree in some engineeirng major rather than industrial safety engineer or (ergonomics) , but for my interests in ergnomics
science , I need to know from you , to start in industrial safety engineer or ergnomics which is better ?
studying firstly ? or working in position in that field ?
note: I live in egypt there is no any courses or sort of studies which can let me study ergnomics rather than 4 years study , after researches I found some course but abroad (1.5 years)
from your opinion study abroad first then working in position in that field or searching for position immedialtly to practise my interests then decide to take other degree , speically I have the abiltiy to study anything with myself & develop it
whats the difference between industrial safety & health jobs & ergnomics jobs ?
is ergnomics & industrial safety & health can be applied in all factories & industries ?
when I ll try to apply for position in thats field , give me the positions names which carry industrial safety & ergonomics ? to ease my search
wish to hear from you
Answer Hay jc,
The "industrial safety engineer" is going to be your best bet. The U.S. recalled the ergonomics standard because it was so screwed up. People just can not comply with the standard as it was written. ergonomics has taken the seat behind the back seat as it relates to law. Besides all that industrial safety pays more money. That is what we are in this business for anyway. You can take the industrial safety courses online and get your degrees on the computer. Now days that is what most CSP professionals do to keep up.
Good luck to you.
Mike
