Some ideas of what Sustainability could be In the Safety Arena-A personal View
Sustainability is not just a concept, its about a lifestyle.
Be prepared for both an exciting but challenging carreer that will ask you to interpret and re interpret what sustainability is in each differing communal,industrial and commercial context in practice.It is also about long term and in context practical and analytical education,participation,consultation,decisionmaking and planning for the now and future.
Leadership and committment to collaboration and partnerships are important at all times
A Profile of A Sustainability committed safety advisor;
OHSE(occ.hlth safety &environ.)
Broad number of jobs which includes identifying hazards and implementing controls at many different levels and systems within an organisation to reduce exposures and prevent incident to both employee /employers.
Understanding and implementing management systems and organisational/cultural change approaches for best benefits all round and fullfillment of the duty of care in its full legal and communal sense.
I am motivated by a sense that all life is about justice,balance and change for the fulfillment of both personal and collective betterment /development and preservation of and promotion of a sustainable way of living for all on this planet and in our particular environment.
Hardest part is being misunderstood,persisting over time and being patient to bring about cultural change in organisations and peoples hearts and minds to quote a cliche'.its rather like maturing a good port.
