Can those who study safety engineering take the Certified Chemical Engineer exam? It will take many years to be able to take it
It should be possible to take the exam; it’s a related field. It might be more difficult for those studying safety-related fields. If you don’t want to work in security, it can serve as a stepping stone for you to change careers. If you still want to work in the field of safety, it is recommended that you consider exams in environmental health first. These days, many employers combine environmental protection, safety, and health under one department, namely HSE.
I study chemical engineering, and I also want to pursue a career in safety; being a certified safety engineer is also a good option.
As long as you have a diploma and meet the required work experience, it’s fine.
For registered chemical engineers, the basic exam is available for those with related majors; you can take it now. However, the specialized exam can only be taken after having worked in chemical engineering design for a total of 8 years
I made a mistake just now; for the professional exam in safety engineering, it’s sufficient to have at least 4 years of experience in chemical engineering design work
