Throughout undergraduate and graduate school, an emphasis is placed on chemical health and safety. Many chemistry graduate students have safety education and training as a part of their curriculum and practice safety skills every day throughout their graduate career. These safety skills and experience in the lab are often attributed towards the career options of academia or industry. However, a career path that is often overlooked and would greatly benefit from these learned skills is one of safety. During this talk, the career path from an inorganic chemistry Ph.D. to a Chemical Hygiene Officer will be discussed as well as how one can navigate this unconventional career path for a Ph.D. chemist.
