Safety as a career is has many pathways. It is important to note that legislation does not name specific qualifications that one should have but only a list of competencies. It is important to choose the correct training provider. My sincere advise is one should do due diligence. I personally have been in safety for over twenty years and worked as a facilitator to mine safety manager. One should invest in ensuring that they get those right competencies and qualifications to fully function as safety officers.
