The purpose of this study is to measure the attitudes of occupational safety specialist candidates towards their profession. Individuals’ attitudes towards their profession are essential in terms of their career, productivity, and future. In general, individuals who have positive attitudes towards their profession have a more successful professional life. Occupational safety experts’ attitudes towards their profession are important both for their individual development and for the successful implementation of occupational health and safety principles. There is no study in the literature on the attitudes of occupational safety specialist candidates towards their profession. The study was carried out to fill the gap in the literature. In the study, the level of attitudes of occupational safety specialist candidates towards their profession was investigated by the survey method, one of the quantitative research methods. The participants’ occupational attitudes in general and in the sub-dimensions of love, value, and harmony were evaluated. As a result of the study, the data were stored into the SPSS 25.0 program. The data analysis revealed that occupational safety specialist candidates had high positive attitudes towards their profession, and that demographic characteristics such as gender and marital status did not affect attitudes, while the age variable was effective. Participants’ willingness to work and their evaluation of their profession as their ideal profession positively affected their professional attitudes. As a result of the study, it was concluded that it is important to ensure the sustainability of the high professional attitudes of the occupational safety specialist candidates. Improving the working conditions of the occupational safety specialist profession, increasing personal rights and protecting the education level are necessary elements for maintaining positive professional attitudes.
