Safety Knights

101k. New Mexico. 6 years experience, bachelors degree.

I’m making 95K today, and honestly believe the market value of it for what I specifically do as it going rate of 105 to 120 K.

60K right on the dot. From Wisconsin. 2.5 years of safety specific experience. Bachelors Degree. Position is a Safety Coordinator.

Georgia. 10 years in corporate safety.

EHS Specialist. Making $79,000 in Tennessee. I have a CSP & Master's in Safety. Right at 5 years of experience. At my previous job the only difference was that I didn't have my CSP yet and was making $62,000. A job offer I received prior to my current job offered $52,000. So the range is incredibly variable. I was offered an EHS manager position for 90-100k plus signon bonus in this same area. (But I didn't want that level of responsibility so passed on it).

I am part-time now and a semi-retired consultant. I was HR and H&S in my corporate life. I am under and NDA so should not quote my exact salary. I will just say, money was not the reason I retied.

As an HR Manager I would tell you to be careful who you share salary info with especially online. I would not advise doing it on a public forum like this. It is not illegal, but many companies frown upon it. As a Baby Boomer manager I first entered the salaried "exempt" world right after college graduation in 1976. My first company was very good at teaching us the advantages and disadvantages of being "salaried-exempt". One of the things I was taught was not sharing your salary with others. It was OK to know the salary range of a job, but where you fall with in it is based on a lot of factors, a + and a -. I could be old fashion in this modern world, but just be careful!

I will always remember the first things I was taught about being "Salary Exempt". #1 I was exempted from the company having to be paid overtime, although my company could and did if I was directly supervising employees (in manufacturing). #2 As a supervisor my normal work week was 9 hours per day 5 days a week. BUT I was not paid by the hour, but to do a JOB. Along with thar it was very bad "form" to watch the clock and go home every day at the same time, like an hourly employee, I was to go home when the job was done for the day, and not before!

Started out as a safety coordinator, making $55k in southern Indiana with a bachelor's degree. Left private industry in 2020 with 12 years experience at the time making $160k as a Corporate Safety Director in southern Kentucky with a masters degree at the time of my last promotion.

My industry is notorious for low pay. Currently make $85k. I could easily be in 6 figures if I changed industries. For me, it's not all about the money. I have a good pension from the fire department. I get to live in one of the most beautiful places on earth. I get a lift pass that is good at 37 ski areas on North America.

85k plus OT. Hours are flat at 40/week this year due to numerous factors, but can get ~5+ hours/week in OT normally depending on demand. Michigan, small chemical/manufacturing plant.

I started out as an IH Tech during the 2008 recession at $12.50/hr.

I'm presently at an academic medical center in Syracuse, NY. My current salary is in the $100-120k range, but I'm not strictly safety anymore. My last salary as a safety manager here was in the $80-100k range.

I already answered but I would add, that there usually a big jump in salary when you go from “Technician”, “Coordinator”, or “Leader” to “Manager”, “Director”, or even VP (this is a leap with a huge huge salary bump). The term “Supervisor” is in between the two categories.
The major differences in the two are basically more responsibility, specifically:
#1 You directly supervise others,
#2 You may have multi-site responsibilities.

Currently $73k salaried no OT. EHS Specialist with 6 years experience and ASP certification.

At this point I could apply and get a manager job elsewhere but my facility feels like the promised land in that they are fully committed to safety, I have an excellent boss, great work life balance, and there is room to move up within the organization in the next few years.

10 years experience, no CSP, no degree, 120k a year. 4 years general industry, 3 years construction, 3 years compliance. I market myself well and know rules and regulations well. I may not have a degree nor do I hold a CSP; however, I am very familiar with rules and regulations for safety, health and environmental compliance. I have 4 years of IH experience and the rest is just basic safety. I personally feel OJT plays a huge role in you pay.
