Safety officers possess unique skills and expertise that can open up various business opportunities. My expertise was documentation and learning, so I integrated these into my business which is EXCEL IN SAFETY. But before getting settled with the services that I currently have, I did some research about businesses we can start with and here are the top 5 business ventures that safety officers can explore to leverage our knowledge and experience. Each opportunity comes with a reason why it’s worth pursuing and links to resources for further exploration.

 

1. Safety Consultancy Services

Why It’s a Great Opportunity?

Safety consultancy allows you to use your expertise to help other businesses create safe working environments. Companies are increasingly seeking external consultants to audit their safety practices and ensure compliance with regulations.

But wait…

While there are vast opportunities in building a business like this, we should consider the requirements. One of the requirements is becoming an Accredited OSH Consultant. I have found a good link for this – https://www.safetynetworkph.org/osh-accreditation

 

2. Online Safety Training Programs

Why It’s a Great Opportunity

With the shift towards online learning, creating digital courses on safety procedures and regulations can be highly profitable. Safety officers can package their knowledge into courses that are easy to sell and distribute online.

calm down there’s more…

There should be a difference between what you are teaching and what should be not. For example, in the Philippines, we all know that Basic Occupational Safety and Health (BOSH) Training is conducted by an Accredited Safety Training Organization (STO), so you should not engage in offering this course unless you are connected with an Accredited  STO.  But, you can create mini-courses, create marketing strategies, and offer them the course. If you are keen on this one, this is part where I introduce our platform. Check our E-Learning Platform and learn more about this.

 

3. Safety Equipment Sales

Why It’s a Great Opportunity

There is a consistent demand for high-quality safety gear. As a safety officer, you have the expertise to recommend and sell the best equipment to ensure workplace safety.

amazing right? Additionally…

If you want to own one for yourself, you can build an online shop like our EXCELINSAFETY ONLINE STORE . In this way, you can have your passive income on top of your salary if you try to work on this. We can help you set something like this if you want to. Just hit the contact link below.

 

4. Become a Blogger or Vlogger

Why It’s a Great Opportunity

Creating a blog or vlog allows you to share your safety knowledge with a broader audience. This platform can establish you as a thought leader in the safety industry, attract potential clients, and generate income through ads, sponsorships, and digital products.

Now we are talking…

You might have noticed any ads on this site or other pages. That is one way, how our platform earns, and that’s how other safety professionals earn. Now, you might though this is too difficult, but with guidance, all of this is possible. We can help you build a website, to get started!

I will ignite you with the top three ways how Bloggers and Vloggers earn:

1. Advertising (like this one)

• Display Ads: Platforms like Google AdSense allow you to display ads on your blog. You earn money based on clicks or impressions.
• Direct Ad Sales: You can sell ad space directly to companies, typically for a flat fee or based on the number of impressions.

2. Affiliate Marketing (like this one)

• Affiliate Links: Promote products or services related to your blog’s niche. You earn a commission when readers click on these links and make purchases.
• Affiliate Networks: Join networks like Amazon Associates, ShareASale, or CJ Affiliate to find relevant products to promote.

3. Sponsored Content (not this one)

• Sponsored Posts: Companies pay you to write posts about their products or services. These can be reviews, tutorials, or simply feature articles.
• Sponsored Reviews: Provide detailed reviews of products or services in exchange for compensation.

 

5. Safety Software Development

Why It’s a Great Opportunity

Developing software solutions for safety management can streamline processes for businesses. Your insights as a safety officer can guide the creation of practical and user-friendly tools.

this is my ultimate dream but…

I have shared my story about my engagement in programming in my previous post “My Journey as an Entrepreneur Specializing Safety” and I am not yet ready for this one. Maybe in the future. Now I ask you a few questions:

• What if you have the capability and the skills to build one?
• Why would I be eager to learn about programming, even though I am a Nurse?
• Do you know how much companies invest in software technology?

Do your research! – This is going to blow your mind!

 

Safety officers can explore numerous business opportunities by leveraging our expertise. We can start safety consultancy services to help businesses ensure compliance, create online safety training programs, or sell safety equipment through e-commerce. Engaging in tech by developing safety software, and becoming a blogger or vlogger on safety topics that allow us to share knowledge widely and generate income through ads, affiliate marketing, sponsored content, and selling digital products or services. By diversifying these ventures, you, as a safety officer, might generate an additional income stream.
