Among different career paths available some are followed by few and one of them is FSO which deals with hazardous materials but it is a well paid job and is highly respected too.
There are numerous career options all over the world. And still new kinds of career options are coming up due to the invention of different new technologies and other demands of everyday life. For example, the profession of Information Technology experts is relatively new but the profession of businessmen has been there from ages. Among these professions, some are extremely popular and some are not pursued by many and following a career path that is less traversed would mean more opportunities for you along with less help too as there are not many who know about the subject. Following such rare career paths requires passion more than skills and one such career path is FSO and an IMDG trained professional.

An FSO or a Facility Security Officer as well as an IMDG or International Maritime Dangerous Goods trained professional work with hazardous materials. Hence needs to be extremely focused and should undergo rigorous training and studies to know about the different hazardous materials, the nuances they create on the environment and how to stop them from doing so. There are many companies that require hazardous materials for their processes and some companies who transport these materials from one place to another. The requirement of an FSO as well as IMDG trained officials comes at this point. It is mandatory by law that while transporting hazardous materials from one place to another, in any which way i.e. by air, by sea or by road, a well trained FSO must be present at all times, starting from the packaging of the materials to its unloading. And all the people working on the transport process must be IMDG trained.

There are different legal bodies overlooking the transportation of hazardous materials through air, water and roads. For airways transport it is IATA, for waterways transport it is IMO and for roadways it is DOT. But all the three organizations have made it compulsory that all people concerned with transfer of hazardous materials must be well aware of the IMDG codes and all the process should be carried out under the supervision of an FSO. Hence once you complete your course in hazardous materials management from a good institute, you can understand very well that you would not have a dearth of opportunities. An FSO is well respected and gets paid well too. As IMDG trained officials also you are sure to earn respect as well as good money.
