Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Occupational Health and Safety Specialists

Military mishap investigations, safety inspections, and risk management consultation directly support civilian accident prevention and workplace safety evaluation.

How to prepare: Compare your education with an occupational health and safety bachelor's program to identify remaining coursework. Specialists typically need a bachelor's degree in safety or a related field, and some employers prefer prior experience in their industry.

What the civilian work involves
  • Recommend measures to help protect workers from potentially hazardous work methods, processes, or materials.
  • Investigate accidents to identify causes or to determine how such accidents might be prevented in the future.
  • Inspect or evaluate workplace environments, equipment, or practices to ensure compliance with safety standards and government regulations.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Excel
  • Microsoft Word

Occupational Health and Safety Technicians

Military area surveys and operational risk assessments provide a foundation for hands-on workplace hazard evaluation.

How to prepare: Seek technician openings that provide supervised training in workplace hazard testing and applicable regulations. Technicians typically enter with at least a high school diploma and receive on-the-job training.

What the civilian work involves
  • Evaluate situations or make determinations when a worker has refused to work on the grounds that danger or potential harm exists.
  • Test workplaces for environmental hazards, such as exposure to radiation, chemical or biological hazards, or excessive noise.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Excel
  • Microsoft Word
