GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
Regardless of your political views, safety is something on which we can all agree. And, of course, government agencies at all levels and across the country post safety-related jobs.
Many cities and counties post their jobs on https://www.governmentjobs.com/index.cfm, including St. Louis County in Minnesota. If you’re looking for a safety-related job in a specific part of the country, this site is worth a look.
The State of Minnesota posts positions at http://www.careers.state.mn.us/. For example, the Minnesota Department of Human Services frequently posts safety-related positions.
The State of Wisconsin also posts positions at https://wisc.jobs/public/index.asp. For example, as of 1/16/2013, the site contained a risk management position (#1204854) and an occupational health surveillance position (#1204852).
The Federal Government always has safety-related positions listed at https://www.usajobs.gov/. “Safety” seems to be a helpful keyword for searching, but using creative keywords sometimes turns up some unexpected surprises.
