Certified Safety Professional

The Certified Safety Professional (CSP) is a certification offered by the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) . The CSP is accredited in the United States by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies and internationally by the International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC 17024) (see ANSI).

The requirements to become a CSP are:

  • an associate's degree in safety and health, or an accredited bachelor's degree in any field
  • four or more years of professional safety experience
  • passing the Safety Fundamentals and/or Comprehensive Practice examinations

CSPs are further required to provide BCSP with proof that they are maintaining a high level of competency in safety work by re-certifying every five years.

Famous quotes containing the words certified, safety and/or professional:

    Faith means belief in something concerning which doubt is still theoretically possible; and as the test of belief is willingness to act, one may say that faith is the readiness to act in a cause the prosperous issue of which is not certified to us in advance.
    William James (1842–1910)

    The Declaration [of Independence] was not a protest against government, but against the excess of government. It prescribed the proper role of government, to secure the rights of individuals and to effect their safety and happiness. In modern society, no individual can do this alone. So government is not a necessary evil but a necessary good.
    Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

    Smoking ... is downright dangerous. Most people who smoke will eventually contract a fatal disease and die. But they don’t brag about it, do they? Most people who ski, play professional football or drive race cars, will not die—at least not in the act—and yet they are the ones with the glamorous images, the expensive equipment and the mythic proportions. Why this should be I cannot say, unless it is simply that the average American does not know a daredevil when he sees one.
    Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
