There are just six short weeks till Christmas (somehow), so now\u2019s the perfect time to think about what you want to achieve, both personally and professionally, in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, while we might not be able to help too much with the more typical new year\u2019s resolutions like quitting smoking, getting more exercise or spending more time with friends and family, what we can assist with is career progression for people in the health and safety sector!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you\u2019re keen to develop professionally and really push yourself in your job over the next 12 months, here are just four resolutions to consider making that will help you do just that. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Upskill at every opportunity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We always say you should say yes to every opportunity that arises – but don\u2019t forget that you can also create opportunities for yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Career-wise, one of the best ways to progress and climb the corporate ladder is to upskill, upskill, upskill\u2026 and if it\u2019s continuous improvement courses you\u2019re looking for, we\u2019ve got a bucket load to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


What about our Health and Safety Level 3 online course<\/a>, for starters? This is essential for anyone in a supervisory or management role in any sector, or anyone running their own business.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It covers everything from risk assessments to implementing control measures\u2026 and it\u2019s a great one to add to your CV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Always wear the correct PPE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We know how easy it can be to adopt a \u2018this will do\u2019 attitude when it comes to personal protective equipment (PPE). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it can be a little annoying to have to devote a bit of time to finding the right gear for the job before you even get started but it\u2019s definitely in your best interests to do so – not to mention being a legal requireme<\/a>n<\/a>t<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you know you\u2019ve been somewhat slapdash about using PPE, for your safety and those around you, prioritise this as your new year\u2019s resolution until it becomes a firmly engrained habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Don\u2019t forget about your mental health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s really common for people to only think about physical health and wellbeing when considering health and safety\u2026 but don\u2019t forget about your mental health and emotions<\/a>, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An excellent new year\u2019s resolution (and one that will benefit you both at work and at home) is to always talk through how you\u2019re feeling, whether that\u2019s with a counsellor, a close friend or your line manager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A problem shared is a problem halved – and you\u2019ll feel significantly better if you do talk it all out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Enjoy it!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It can be difficult working in health and safety, but it can also be very rewarding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it might be tricky if injury rates are high and you\u2019re worried about your workforce, but try to take a step back and look at the bigger picture, as your highs are sure to be greater than your lows\u2026 and the difficult circumstances are where the learning happens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So make sure you take the time to appreciate your accomplishments and all the hard work you\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
