I’ve always heard work on land is like the Wild West compared to offshore as far as safety goes.
I’m not implying more people get hurt just heard the rules aren’t as stringent.

Seems like a pretty boring job cause it's repetitive. Giving the same classes over and over and over and over...

I appreciate all that info. Any other certs you’d recommend, aside from what I listed in the OP?
You can definitely dive deeper into specific areas of safety. Hazmat, emergency response, firefighting, environmental. There are a lot of different routes to go it's all about what path you want to take.
Offshore you'll probably need at least your IRATA 1 (Rope access, goes up to 3 I believe). The IRATA creds will help break you into the rescue/emergency management side.
Also more of the basic stuff like your TWIC, Landsafe, and H2S training. A lot of that is very minor compared to the others I've talked about and most companies will pay for you to keep those up to date.
Theres always the option of starting at the bottom of the bucket with a company like TotalSafety or one of the various turnaround contractors. But that would mainly be on industrial construction projects, not exactly offshore

Basic oilfield certs: safegulf, Huet/ Bosiet, water survival, fall protection, rigger, and fire incipient. Those are taken care of by the company you work for but having them ahead of time does help.

A whole lot of guesses in this thread that are actually funny.
If you want to be more than the clipboard man regurgitating safety alerts start with NEBOSH, IOSH, or OSHA training.
Actually the bar is pretty low and depending on which of the above you choose it is a pretty easy road as it is a dead end.
I have not worked in the GOM in a long time but internationally there is no shortage at that position and it tends to be one of the first nationalized.
My advice is get your arse to the rig floor, that is where the eventual money is.

make 200k a year in safety. You have to travel but there is money in safety.
Well I don't make that much yet, but I only stay offshore 2-3 nights a year. Also, only travel for training courses about a weeks worth per year. I'm also towards the beginning of my career, and within 5-10 more years should make close to that 200k as the boss man of my current position. So yeah, there's money in safety.

Don’t!
There are better HSE jobs out there in more stable markets.

Thatd be on the top end of things but not unheard of. Once you get travelling your total take home goes up tremendously thru various benefits (perdiem, housing, truck pay, travel, etc). Good for young single folk. Get to see the world and put aside some serious cash. Overseas/international work pays pretty damn good for competent American workers

Save that shite. I've been in the gig since 1985.

Step 1. Quit referring to HSE/Safety as a "game." The companies that care enough about safety to pay a decent salary take this stuff very seriously.

Hahahaha. I’m in Safety and I’ll be honest, I’m way overpaid.
I am not sure about going offshore, but generally these are the most important certain you can get:
CSP- Certified Safety Professional (BCSP)
OSHA500/501 Construction/General Industry outreach trainer
After that you can branch into CHST or an MBA. You have to work up though, it’s very rare to go into a senior EHS role. I started out being gone six weeks at a time (one week break) for a few years before a landed a full time back home with a Fortune 10.

A lot of the people I’ve talked to got their certs and started teaching at a place like Falck Safety Services that also send their employees into the field, be it offshore or on land, to consult for companies and train in the field. I personally know two people that work there that make well over $100k/year and sometimes far more after they leave and become independent consultants and do HSE work overseas.
