Per diem is, by deffinition, "by the day." Therefore, if it was not paid, "by the day" it is not per diem.

What trade are you working in now? And what does it pay?

How do you break into the Safety & Health side. Most job offers require experience in that field. I've been a rad tech for 30 yrs. I need a change also because of not being able to scurry up & down those containment ladders. If you know what I mean?
Any direction would be much appreciated.
