Behind regulatory requirements is a daily reality of quick decisions, dialogue and balancing priorities. This is the field reality of CoSS professionals.
A constantly changing environment
Multiple employers, tight schedules and simultaneous activities: the CoSS works with a site that changes from hour to hour. For context, see what a CoSS is in Quebec.
Prevention at the heart of human relationships
The CoSS must persuade, explain and bring people together. Field credibility matters as much as technical knowledge.
Managing tensions
Balancing production and safety sometimes creates tensions. Anticipating rather than reacting remains the best approach, as the main challenges facing CoSS professionals remind us.
Frequently asked questions
What qualities help a CoSS succeed?
