Reporting a Fatality or Catastrophe: Virginia Code § 40.1-51.1. D requires all employers, regardless of how many individuals they employ, to report any work related incident resulting in a fatality or catastrophe within eight (8) hours to the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry (DOLI).

The primary qualifications for getting a job as a safety officer with no experience are a bachelor's degree and familiarity with relevant workplace safety standards, including any OSHA guidelines.

A lot of entry level safety jobs in construction want you to have your OSHA 30 and a first aid/CPR/AED cert. You can either take the OSHA online (look at ``ClickSafety'') or in person in some places.
