Things that raise your pay

• CRSP (Canadian Registered Safety Professional) certification

  The single biggest jump. Many senior postings will not look at you without it.

• A trade ticket

  Coming from the tools means workers listen to you. It is worth more than any course.

• Industrial hygiene

  Measuring noise, dust, fumes and chemical exposure. A specialty with its own credentials and better pay.

• Mining, oil and gas

  The highest paying sectors, with rotations and camp work.

• Incident investigation

  Being good at root cause work makes you the person a company calls after something serious.
