According to the results of the survey, the average safety professional is a man. More than three-quarters (77.6 percent) of respondents were male, while only 22.4 percent were female. Another defining feature: age. Nearly two-fifths (17.4 percent) of the respondents are at least 60 years old, and more than half (54.3 percent) are at least 50 years old. Only 3 percent are younger than 30. Survey results also show that the average safety professional earns a healthy paycheck. Nearly one-third (31.7 percent) of respondents earn at least $100,000 a year, and more than half (54.5 percent) earn at least $80,000 a year.
