Sorry, I posted and forgot to check in. If you're still interested:

From safety, I was able to transition to HR, and from HR, I was able to transition to investigator. When I was a safety guy, I positioned myself as a policy-writer and "big picture" person rather than a "safety cop." As soon as I proved I was capable of professional-level work, I just told management that they could either make me an HR generalist or I would look for work somewhere else. I was a good enough employee that I felt comfortable taking that risk. After getting a few years HR experience, I landed the EEOC Investigator position.

That's a pretty interesting story. How does it feel to be on the "other" side.
