Safety Officer for state department?

Hi, wondering if anyone here has worked for their state as a safety professional? I’m not talking state OSHA, but for a state department other than department of labor (e.g. department of administration, department of public health). I have a job opportunity for a safety officer position. I would be taking a small pay cut, but would receive state employee benefits. I see this as a good opportunity to get out of manufacturing but wondering if anyone has experience with this.
