You forgot:
Process Safety Engineer
Occupational Hygienist
Occupational Physician
Ergonomist
Health Physicist
Radiation Protection Advisor

There is no confusion. Different organisations have different job titles, it is the same for every profession. You look at the job description and CV of an individual to determine what they are qualified to do.

Richard,

You have made a good point here.

I think, I will go with that. Is just that when in need of a new job, you may think on how to structure your CV. for instance, a holder of NEBOSH certs or others may wish to know the rank they are qualified for.

Specifically, my NEBOSH ITC in oil & gas operational safety is on going; some offers may not go well with such qualification. In oder not to be a professional misfit, its good to know what offer to acept ot turn down.

Cheers

So you are looking at this from the other perspective, that of a prospective employee.

In this case the size of an organisation will be important. A "Safety Manager" post in a small company maybe a one man band, with lower expectations for skills and experience and also salary. On the other hand a "Safety Manager" in a large organisation will be expected to have higher qualifications but also managerial skills as they will have a department and budget to manage.

You can apply the same ide to all the job titles.
