  • Veterans encouraged to explore post-military careers in workplace safety

    Jan 10, 2018
    The qualities of military veterans are also the traits of an OSH professional, which is why ASSE believes that military members separating from the U.S. Armed Forces should consider workplace safety as a second career. Safety professionals keep people protected by analyzing and controlling on-the-job risks and hazards.
