Create My Health and Safety Officer CV

For health and safety roles, employers check your qualification level first, then the sectors and risk levels you've worked in and the safety work you've led.

Put qualifications at the top

List your health and safety qualification and level (for example a NEBOSH certificate or diploma, or the national equivalent in your country) and the year obtained.

Name sectors and risk levels

Construction, metal, chemicals, food, energy - which sectors and how many employees. Say whether you were in-house or worked through a consultancy.

Describe concrete work

Risk assessments, emergency plans, incident and near-miss investigations, training and audits - with numbers: "Trained 1,200 employees a year."

What Every Health and Safety Officer CV Should Include

  • Health and safety qualification and level
  • Sectors and risk levels
  • Risk assessments and emergency plans
  • Training and audit experience

Example Work Experience Lines

Write your experience in the same concrete, measurable way:

  • "Updated the risk assessment for 450 employees at a high-risk metal processing plant."
  • "Introduced a near-miss reporting system that cut lost-time incidents by 30% in a year."
