The modern health and safety professional is able to communicate effectively to their workforce and managers, and is just as comfortable influencing directors at board level.
Key to their role is:
- Keeping up with their continuing professional development;
- Complying with the correct personal protective equipment, aware of the latest innovations in PPE and how to procure them;
- Legislation is the foundation stone of the health and safety profession – it’s key for a modern health and safety professional to be on top of any legislative changes.

I like the infographic, but would also like to remind the digital editor that safety practioners come in both sexs (male and female). and perhaps there is some artistic bias being demonstrated.
Hi Matthew, we try to maintain a level of diversity across SHP online. We have a number of articles written by male health and safety practitioners as well as female. Practitioners do come in both sexes – and those who choose not to identify with a gender. In this case our designer decided to depict a female health and safety practitioner.
Such as shame this article chose to focus on keeping up to date with PPE innovations rather than focusing on keeping up to date on collective safety control measuure innovations especially important for occupational hygiene issues
Hi Joanne, thanks for your insight. That’s certainly something that we can look to add to the infographic. Occupational hygiene is an important part of health and safety.
