Certified Safety Professional

The Certified Safety Professional (CSP) is a certification offered by the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) .

The requirements to become a CSP are:

  • an associate's degree in safety and health, or an accredited bachelor's degree in any field

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)

    Once women begin to question the inevitability of their subordination and to reject the conventions formerly associated with it, they can no longer retreat to the safety of those conventions. The woman who rejects the stereotype of feminine weakness and dependence can no longer find much comfort in the cliché that all men are beasts. She has no choice except to believe, on the contrary, that men are human beings, and she finds it hard to forgive them when they act like animals.
    Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)

    ... a supportive husband is an absolute requirement for professional women.... He is something she looks for, and when she finds him, she marries him.
    Alice S. Rossi (b. 1922)
