Working Hard for the Money: Results from the 2024 National Safety & Salary Survey

Nov. 19, 2024
An up-close demographic look at the salaries EHS professionals are earning, and what they think of their jobs.

EHS Today earlier this year conducted a readership study as part of the 2024 National Safety and Salary Survey. We received fully completed responses from 631 EHS professionals, where they revealed not only how much they earn, but also where they live, what they do, how long they've been doing it, how well they feel supported as safety professionals, and how much they like (or don't like) their jobs.

You'll also hear from safety leaders, in their own words, about the biggest challenges they face, the types of safety technologies they use, the leading indicators they track, and what areas of workplace safety they're personally responsible for. 

Join us on a deep dive into the current state of the industry in the following slideshow, and then let us know your own experiences in the comments section below.
