hi my name is Catherine Taylor and I am
the superintendent of health safety and
environment at Maritime electric the
health and safety department is a
support mechanism for the company so how
can we train our staff to look for
hazards what direct controls are in
place to prevent those hazards to make
sure that everyone’s working as safe as
they can what what I find rewarding
about my job is that you’re just always
working towards building a more safe
culture at the workplace so for me I
like that challenge I like trying to
figure out how to do their job safely to
go in the health and safety profession
you would definitely want to have some
type of background in physics and math
and all that to be able to understand
you know what goes on at a utility but I
also think that leaning into the
business side as well as more of like
the soft skills is also a really big
component
I think if you like problem solving and
you are looking for a career that is
both technically challenging but as well
you get the feeling that you’re always
helping people then this is definitely
it for you
