Organization: International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA)
About ISEA: Over 125 million U.S. workers rely on personal protective equipment (PPE) and safety gear to stay safe, whether they’re in fields, on runways, or working at dizzying heights on communication towers. The International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA) is the voice of this critical industry. For 90 years, we’ve been the driving force behind the development of ANSI-accredited standards, advocating for policies that improve worker safety, and providing essential insights and education on PPE and safety standards.
About QSSP: The Qualified Safety Sales Professional (QSSP) program is where safety sales pros sharpen their knowledge and skills when it comes to Occupational Safety & Health. Whether it’s in-person, virtual, or on-demand, QSSP is all about delivering practical and interactive training and useful information. With over 3,000 graduates, QSSP arms safety sales professionals with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed in their careers and to help keep workers safe.
About the Safety Sales Trainer Position: Are you passionate about safety and have a knack for teaching? Then we need you! As a Safety Sales Trainer, you’ll bring your industry know-how and energy to QSSP, training safety sales pros both virtually and in-person. We’re looking for someone who loves to mix real-world stories, interactive activities, and group problem-solving into their lessons. You’ll be part of a team that’s helping safety sales pros grow their expertise and improve safety across industries.
Flexibility and Commitment: This is a part-time, remote consulting position—perfect for professionals looking to contribute their expertise alongside their current full-time roles. Across a year, we anticipate a need for 160–180 hours of training. The ideal candidate is available to support 3 to 5 training sessions per year, each lasting 4 full days (some in-person, some virtual). We typically provide 4+ months advance notice before scheduling a course and will work with your schedule. Additionally, there will be opportunities for extra hours developing curriculum for short, on-demand courses through our QSSP Essentials program. Here’s an overview of the commitment:
- Leading in-person training: 70–80 hours/year (divided across two 4-day courses)
- Leading virtual training: 70–80 hours/year (divided across two 4-day courses)
- Developing new on-demand courses: 20 hours/year
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Delivering Training Like a Pro: Whether it’s in-person in Raleigh, virtually, or in a hybrid format, you’ll lead training that keeps safety sales pros engaged and excited to learn. You’ll also help develop on-demand training modules as part of our new QSSP Essentials program.
- Creating Course Materials: We need fun, interactive content! You’ll build everything from manuals and presentations to e-learning modules. You’ll keep it fresh and up-to-date with the latest safety standards and regulations.
- Keeping Things on Schedule: You’ll work with the ISEA team to plan your training schedule, meet deadlines, and participate in pre/post-course briefings.
- Promoting the Program: Help us spread the word! You’ll also get to participate in webinars, articles, and other content to show off what’s new in OSH and safety sales.
The Ideal Candidate (That’s You!): We’re looking for someone who lives and breathes safety and knows how to bring that passion to the classroom—virtually or in person. You’ve got the skills to teach safety pros, and you love the challenge of keeping things engaging, interactive, and fun. Here’s what we think makes the ideal fit:
- You’re Engaging: People love learning from you because you make it fun and interesting. No boring lectures here!
- You’re Passionate About Safety: You’re not just here to teach—you’re here to make workplaces safer.
- Safety Industry Know-How: You’ve got at least 5 years in the safety industry, and a couple of those years working directly with end users. PPE, construction, or similar? Even better. You know the standards and best practices inside and out.
- Educator Extraordinaire: You’ve been delivering OHS training for at least 3 years. Complex info doesn’t scare you—you know how to break it down in a way that’s easy for people to get.
- Tech-Savvy Trainer: Zoom, MS Teams, polling tools, breakouts—you can run virtual sessions like a pro. PowerPoint, Word, Excel, and Google Office? No problem.
- Well-Credentialed: You’ve got a degree in OSH or a related field, and having certifications like CSP or CIH would be awesome. Already an OSHA30 instructor? That’s ideal.
