What advice would you give someone just starting out in the safety industry
Don’t let others ‘experiences bring you down. Wear your rose colored glasses, but keep an open mind and learn from your experiences. Wisdom doesn’t mean those glasses have to fade. Remember that it is ALL about perspective.
Find multiple mentors and touch base with them regularly.
They will be one of the keys to your development!
