Occupational Health and Safety Specialists and Technicians
Significant Points
About 2 out of 5 specialists worked in Federal, State, and local government agencies that enforce rules on safety, health, and the environment.
Many employers, including the Federal Government, require a bachelor's degree in occupational health, safety, or a related field for some specialist positions.
Projected average employment growth reflects a balance of continuing public demand for a safe and healthy work environment against the desire for smaller government and fewer regulations.
