Let's first know who is Civil Safety Engineer and then we will understand the roles and responsibilities and later we will discuss the Q/A Interview Preparation for Civil Safety Engineer.

Who is Civil Safety Engineer?

Civil Safety Engineer provides precise details on how workers will interact with equipment and building designs during construction. Ideally, administrative controls and the use of personal protective equipment act as barriers between construction workers and hazards.

What are the roles and responsibilities of a Civil Safety Engineer? 

• A Civil Safety Engineer develops policies to ensure safety of environment, its customers and employees.
• They inspect equipment, environments and buildings to identify areas that can potentially cause health and safety hazards.
  
• They independently inspects construction projects to maintain safety standards (e.g., floor loading capacity test, safety measures on storage tanks containing flammable and volatile liquids, and checking scaffolding to do painting of buildings)
• They finish hazard and job safety analysis to make sure proper use of machinery and equipment, personal protective equipment, and procedures

What qualification does a Civil Safety Engineer  require? 

• A Health and safety engineers must have a bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline. & Employers value practical experience, cooperative-education engineering programs at universities are valuable as well.
