About The Board
The BCSP was established in 1969 based on recommendations from a study performed by the American Society of Safety Engineers. Eight professional organizations are affiliated with the BCSP; they are:

On September 26, 2003, BCSP signed an alliance with the United States' Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Council on Certification of Health, Environmental, and Safety Technologists (CCHEST) to collaborate on training, education, outreach, and advocacy.
On December 31, 2008, BCSP acquired CCHEST and its multiple safety certifications.
NOTE: The BCSP is not an accredited academic institute. The BCSP only facilitates testing and does not offer a training curriculum. Moreover, unlike most accredited institutions for higher learning, one must pay dues to maintain membership.

Famous quotes containing the word board:
“During depression the world disappears. Language itself. One has nothing to say. Nothing. No small talk, no anecdotes. Nothing can be risked on the board of talk. Because the inner voice is so urgent in its own discourse: How shall I live? How shall I manage the future? Why should I go on?”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
