There are many career options that one may pursue as a safety professional. The safety professional has the responsibility for studying materials, structures, codes and operations in order to find the best way to use resources to control hazards, those things which can lead to accidents, illness, fires, explosions, etc. "Resources" may mean tools, equipment, machinery, buildings or any other items that can prevent hazards. "Accidents" may cause injuries to people or damage to property and the environment as well as other adverse effects.

Safety managers recognize and devise methods to control hazards with management skills and techniques needed to administer a department or facility. The safety manager may direct the safety program of a large plant, corporation or a department within local, state or the federal government.

Safety has become important and integral part of our daily life, be it at home, road safety and workplace safety. Prior to 1960s’ the approach in industry about the accident prevention was skeptical. The accidents were increasing and the causes were investigated after happening of the accidents then make changes to prevent repetition. The approach so described is no longer acceptable worldwide. The growing number of accidents led the Govt. to enact and implement various Acts and Rules keeping the safety of workers & jobbers as first and foremost objective.

Government is strictly implementing rules leading to workers safety in establishments. Thus, as per Safety Act in every industrial establishment, a Safety Officer is recruited compulsorily. This has opened new vistas for trained manpower requirement in the field of Fire & Industrial Safety Management.

Now a days, the global demand is more as compared to available trained manpower. Large number of career opportunities in the field of Safety are available in India and abroad. After attaining Diploma in Fire & Industrial Safety Management from IDMFS a fresher can also expect lucrative salary as compared to other fields.
