Many employers require safety directors to have a bachelor’s degree in an industry-specific field, such as environmental chemistry or environmental microbiology, in addition to past work experience. Equivalent work experience can suffice for formal education for some employers. Paid job training is provided to safety directors. During this period, they become familiar with current workplace practices and safety standards while working closely with a member of the upper management team. This training period varies by employer and may last for several weeks.
