Safety and Occupational Health Management
21 open positions in this category
OPM series 0018. Develop and manage programs that prevent workplace injuries, illnesses, and accidents through inspections, training, and hazard control.
Most 0018 specialists and managers protect their own agency’s workforce, inspecting worksites, investigating mishaps and keeping the organization in line with occupational safety and health standards; at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration they also help employers comply with federal standards.
Recent listings have included safety and occupational health specialists and managers at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Army transportation activities, the Air Force Safety Center, the Bureau of Land Management, the Smithsonian Institution and NASA, compliance assistance specialists and an assistant area director at OSHA, a wildland fire safety specialist and direct-hire public notices for both specialist and manager positions.
Applying tip: announcements rate you on the hazards and operations you have handled, so name the environments, such as construction, aviation, industrial, laboratory or wildland fire, the standards you applied and the mishap investigations you led. Professional certifications are not usually required but are often listed as desirable. The federal resume guide covers how to present that experience.
